That may all be true Dave, but to the people who care about the
originality of their car (and I'm not one of them) it would be useful
if the supposedly knowledgeable judges would share the benefit of
their knowledge with the purists so they can get it right. Some people
do want to make it perfectly original. Why not help them. And, If the
judges are wrong and can be shown to be, they will learn something too.
Not that I'd suggest that people get even slightly bent about judging
discrepancies. As you stated, pebble beach is there for that.
Cheers
