[DML] Re: Concours Judging For Options & Accessories

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Like it or nor, agree with me or not, the plain and simple fact of
life is EVERY car marque is judged by it's concours. It is the
benchmark and the standard against which every other car of that
marque is judged. It is what sets the top value for a "pristine"
example and what constitutes the "ideal". Like a beauty contest. My
thoughts are that we have a chance to add our input as to some of the
rules. Every owner has a stake in this so if anyone thinks a rule is
not correct now is the time to voice your opinion. If you have
documentation to justify your position than present it. Your silence
is a tacit approval of the process. I agree that the concours
competition is not for everyone but everyone can participate in
setting the rules. If you say nothing than DMCH will make the rules as
they see fit without your input. BTW it is not any one event but the
accumulation of many. No one concours sets the values just as no one
auction sets the values. Most look at trends, or several consecutive
events to get a better idea of the way things are going. For the lucky
winner it puts the "stamp of approval" on that particular car and
helps to authenticate it while increasing it's value. There will alays
be a driver class and the concours class for those willing to compete.
