There is no all in one answer but there is an answer for each person. That's why we are joking about years, months and days.

OK, so what qualifies a Model A to be considered for a "Preservation" award? I've seen this class at the Hershey Show. Is there not a "definition" listed on the entry form or somewhere?

It's best to contact the AACA to get the qualifications right from " the horses mouth".

Well, it isn't what I thought it was. Apparently a vehicle has to score 350 in a show then it's awarded a Preservation Award. I must be thinking of a different class, one where unrestored original vehicles are judged thinking the description might be interesting.

So just how many years then does "new" become "old"?

I've often asked that ABOUT myself!

Great question and interesting input. I suppose it all depends are your perspective and experience and maybe whether you are a shopper, seller, owner, observer... young or old.

So for me... old restoration, before 1986; new restoration since 1986. Next year I might move it up a year, just cuz. How's that for random.
