I forgot to mention this in my post...

The club has people's choice voting and awards at every meet. Concours judging is only done at the fall meets and has an entry process and fee. The club uses a 1,000 point scale for concours judging.

There's no study on this, but I believe most point deductions are taken in the Engine Compartment, Chassis and Interior sections. That's where the details really add up and make a difference. Thoughts about concours judging often turn to competition. I think a better focus is on judging as an educational process. The judges and model year consultants are happy to help along the way.

I can't remember how the club used to handle judging forms in the past. Maybe sample forms were available. I'll ask around and see if we can post something on the website.

If you do a Google search for Concours Judging criteria you will find a great selection of options. Some use a 400 point scale and down to a 100 point scale. Point deduction for the original/correct paint displayed varied for each scale used. Is there a standard judging criteria list available? This could be available for member digestion on the Club site. Something to consider. Most owners will seldom or never get involved in a true judging event, but knowing the rules up front would be a help in preparing or maintaining your car for your own use and for the possibility of a future sale.

The standard concours deduction is 100 points for a non authentic color. That's described as non original to the car and was never a Chrysler factory color that year.
The standard deduction for a non original color is 50 points. That's a color that was not original to the car but was a Chrysler factory color that year.
