Having second thoughts now, but I've entered into a concours this coming weekend. I've never been to one so I'm thinking I might be over my head, especially in regards to originality.
I was told they're judging exterior, interior, storage spaces, and exterior wheels, no engine or chassis. What kind of experience have you had and what should I concentrate on? |

Prepping your car for a concours, if you have the time, is a great experience. It takes a lot of work, but once it's done, maintaining at that level isn't too hard. I concours mine but I also autocross and drive it long distances that include, heaven forbid, driving in the rain. When I wash it, I'll focus on a small area to concours. Might be the dash, could be the rear trunk. 15 minutes on a section does wonders.
btw, grease is okay, dirty grease is not...at least in concours competition. Also, I've entered concours just to get a parking spot on the lawn. Told the judges that I was withdrawing from being judged. Haven't found one that wasn't relieved to have one less car to judge. |
