The MBCA section I am a member of has their annual car show in a couple of month. Thinking about entering my car in the silver star preservation class (see below link) and see if I can get the certificate.

Has anybody done this? I don't think it is anything of value other than a fun exercise.

I really like this idea.

I am doing this in a few weeks at Monterey. I can't think of a reason my car wouldn't qualify.

IT would be interesting to see the judging form.

Been There, Done That, got the certificate, but did not purchase the badge.

It is very fun and give you a good look at just how off your car can become over the years. The judges can tend to be overly critical and need to be reminded that this is not Concours, but a helping hand to keep the cars on the road. One of my judges took exception to the Euro lights, fender chrome, 8 track player, a seat belt on the parcel shelf, and the seat belt holders from an SLC.

I did really well on scoring, just the niggling items, as the lights were standard on ROTW, so passed, the trim was a dealer item, so passed, and the demerits were mostly for missing items. Bring along all your original paper work and booklets, tool wrap, whatever came with your car.
