And that's where the Concours Registry began, when Rich, Roger, and I sat
down to discuss it at the AHCA delegates meeting in Illinois those many years

that we have a basis to evaluate cars that have been restored with original
standards as the objectives, and to recognize them as rolling examples, but
underlying all of it was simply the desire to expand our knowledge and make
that knowledge available. We believed then, and we believe now, that the
information about the original specificiations was worth preserving, lest
these car simply become blank canvases on which anyone could paint their idea
