Judging Class For The Original

[Bob Bidonde]

Is there a national MARC - MAFCA class for judging original Model A's?

With MARC ,not a separate class, usually 'Judged' with the Fine Point Cars.

Probably the most difficult.

In MAFCA, Original class is judged alone with the Blue Ribbon and Touring class. I like judging the Originals first, so my team can see how Model As were originally built.

MAFCA does not offer a class for judges in how to judge Original unrestored Model A's. The Original class does have requirements that a vehicle must meet to be in the class.

MAFCA does have a class for unrestored, or what we often call "original cars". It is what we call "White Ribbon" class. See the details on the MAFCA website page about vehicle classes here- https://mafca.com/vehicle-judging-copy/

Yes, since Marc and mafca have a joint partnership in the judging standards they both have an original class outlined in the standards

Not necessarily.

The Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards has a section called "Judging the Model A Ford". In this section you will find many differences between MARC and MAFCA. MARC has an Original Unrestored Class and MAFCA has an Original Class. They are almost the same.

Not necessarily.

please explain the difference? both clubs have a original class outlined in the judging standards. both clubs use the same judging standards.

In my opinion, original "A's" & "AA's" are not properly recognized by national judging classes. Giving these vehicles national recognition will encourage keeping them original, especially since the cost of a restoration has become unaffordable for many enthusiasts.

In MARC they are judged alongside the fine point cars in original class. They use the same set of standards as fine point and take note of the condition of each part as that it is 100 years old. There is also a Roger Kauffman award selected by a group of judges that is awarded to the original car that Roger would have liked most for its originality. There is usually 1-2 original cars per year in MARC judging. It is great to see these cars as they were built, paint puddles and paint runs, uneven pin stripes ect.
