Wow.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you lose 10 points for having white walls in MARC Touring Class.

You can buy the Touring Class judging standards from MARC for future reference.

White Walls are the least of my problem....try green fenders, I have been shunned by my own club

Retired and tired in WV

Never could understand why some people have the mentality or prefer to knock others cars. Weather it be whitewalls or paint or juice brakes or? To each his own.
A lot of good overall info on this barn so why not loosen up.

My huckster, which has whitewalls, won a trophy for best in show at the last show I attended.
My awards were a trophy and a pool vacuum.
I don't have a pool, and now I feel like I should send the trophy back.

White Walls, Black Wall, what u like, not what others like, if u don:t like white walls, or black walls, buy your own car and put on it what u like..if we all liked the same thing would:nt life be boreing. Just my 2 cents, u can see what I like, I really think all Model 'A's look good.....!!

Black tires with an overdirve. The perfect combination.

I think I will turn my white walls to the inside, this way I will have the best of both worlds. Can't do that with the fenders though as they are green under neath as well.....oh the humanity

It has "white walls" on as she sits.



Is this what I get to hear if I show up this summer at an event?


Doesn't sound too fun.
most people don't care enough to say anything. People on here just seem to be vocal about their opinions.

I'm working on my jug. I really need it now that the fat girlfriend with the whitewalls has returned! lol Oh why did I ever let the skinny one with the blackwalls get away?

A little jocularity goes a long way....
