That’s what I seem to remember Bob, but I’m not an authority on any of this. It just
seemed kind of odd to see every one of the early ‘50’s trucks that were being judged at
the VCCA’s premier gathering, equipped with deluxe bright metal. I wonder if any of
them had points deducted for incorrect trim packages. If you didn’t take your baby up to
flint Bob you missed out on a trophy, I haven’t seen one that is as correct as yours is right
down to the correct head pipe and hangers. By the way we haven’t seen any pictures in
the last year of the young lady in her new dress, how bout it???
Tim, a ’52, 3604 three window was awarded first place it also had a driver side spare
mounted which I know is incorrect. A ’51, 3104 five window got the third place trophy
and I suppose it could have been an early release. Then there were a couple more 53‘s
that must have been runners up which were decked out in deluxe plumage.
But what finish did those rear bumpers have on them in ‘51, ‘52, ’53.
I was just wondering what documentation they used for judging those trucks. I was
always under the impression that they had to be “Factory correct” not “Dealer correct” or
“Period correct” to comply with the VCCA’s judging standards.
