Thanks Don, for your explanation. Well said. The only clarification needed 
is on the seatbelt question. Belts in good condition, of acceptable design 
receive no points deduction. ("Unacceptable design" might mean push button 
release with GM logo, for example). Additionally, we do not deduct points for 
tires of the correct size, construction, and whitewall width. We do provide 
minimal bonus points for Blue Streaks in acceptable condition. This has occured 
on rare occasions---last Fall Meet being the most recent. Concours cars are 
intended to be judged, to the best of our ability, on the basis of how they were 
constructed when new. 300ly, Gil Cunningham
