Hi Ben and All:
Sorry for the little delay in answering your questions re: concours and 
people's choice.

1. Concours cars are judged on the basis of authenticity---ie., how 
they came from the 
factory, and of course quality of restoration. Any deviation from 
that baseline 
results in some points deduction. Cars are judged in four 
classes, C300, 300B;
300C-E; F-H; and J-L. There is also a Hurst Class. Each car is 
judged in five
areas: Engine compartment; Interior; Body Exterior and Luggage 
Compartment;
Exterior Ornamentation; and Underbody. The judging form used is 
objective, with 
areas to be assessed and allowable range of deductions enumerated. 
Judge-hours
spent on each vehicle probably averages about 2.5.

2. People's choice is just that: People at the meet vote for their 
favorite car. Really
no rules, except it must be a lettercar or a Hurst. The classes 
are a little different
than for concours, and there are no deductions.

3. There is no "Daily Driver" or similar class/competition. 

Hope this answers your questions. 300ly, Gil Cunningham
