F, I agree - there are too many over the top restorations out there that
result in 'ugly' cars - chrome everywhere, brass everywhere, over restored
paint etc.  I many cases - All Moss Cars.

Not to be confused with upgraded cars - comp repros, a/c, etc.  hese are a
different breed and do not make any concours claims.  Pure driving fun for old
technology's sake.

The core theme of concours should be 'originality and driving pleasue' - not
more glitz and trailer queens - only my opinion.
