Re: Dealer stickers

..... Think of the theory this way - the way and the condition that the Corvette was when it drove out of the assembly plant is the condition we judge at NCRS. As soon as it went under the door at the plant and "into the world", all bets are off..... ARA

Ara, I think you should go back and read the "judging standard" paragraph on pg 14 of the Judging Reference Manual rev 8...

Addition of a dealer nameplate was considered a normal part of standard dealer prep at many dealerships - if one is present, ignore it. Installation of anything else that DIDN'T come in the car from the factory warrants an appropriate deduction.

Re: Dealer stickers

I purchased a significant number of Chevrolets in the late 70's, 80's, and early 90's as a GM employee. Most were from the same dealer using the same salesman who handled the GM employee orders. He always told me that his boss insisted that every car leaving the property must have a sticker on it. So for the sake of his retaining his job, and our good relationship, I agreed. But, he also said that if I removed them a block down the street it was ok - which I did. I found that if I removed them as soon as possible they came off fairly easy using just a finger nail. However, if you waited a day or two, or let it bake in the sun for awhile, then you had a job on your hands.

Re: Dealer stickers

How would judging standard on page 14 apply to Balwin Motion Corvette GTs, Nickey Stingrays, or Malcolm Konor Commemmorative Corvettes, Duntov turbo C3 since these car are dealer built after they leave the factory or are they exempt from NCRS judging?

Re: Dealer stickers

These examples fall into the dealer inspired modifications bucket and would get deducts for items that differ from the judging guidance material we use on the judging field.

Re: Dealer stickers

If only the NCRS published a book that spelled out all the rules and regulations on this subject and made it available to everyone, there wouldn't be a need for such controversy. Maybe they could even define a 'Judging Standard'.

If only, .... but then folks would have to read it.
