I have always believed that "concours" meant a set of purely artificial 
standards that were drawn up by a bunch of people who had never seen an 
actual brand new Frogeye Sprite.  They simply rely on what someone else 
has written was "original", and what they "think" they should have 
looked like.  I can guarantee that when I drove my brand new Sprite off 
the lot in 1960, it would not meet these artificial standards.  There 
were four of us in Memphis--Al Clemens, Don Chapman, and Vicki 
McCauley-- who all bought ours within the space of a month or so.  None 
were identical to any of the other three.  Different colors, different 
parts numbers, different tool kits!
