Which Class DPC?

I believe my 55 Buick should be in the DPC class.. Radial tires, Halogen Headlights, Pertronix Electronic Ignition...

I have upgraded the vacuum wipers to electric would this disqualify the car?

The interior is worn (Frayed but still original). Exterior is nice...

Any feedback would be most helpful. I'm not to far from Topeka so that would be a good possibility..

ANy where other than the Judging guide Lines to read about the DPC?

Re: Which Class DPC?

Bob, bring that '55 Buick on. They'll love to see it.

A lot of DPC cars have radial tires. As far as the engine, as long as it's not a Ford or a big block Chevy engine in your engine bay, you have nothing to worry about.

The whole point of the DPC class was to get new people interested in our meets, without having to have a perfect show car.

Enjoy your first AACA meet.

Ted, that is NOT correct. A car can be DPC certified and if the owner later chooses to enter it into class judging that is fine but he can not keep going back and forth between classes.

If I remember correctly going from DPC to Class judged you need to turn in the badges like just like you would do if you "recycle" your car and go for your 1st Jr again. I'd have to look it up to verify.

David, that's the way I understand it, too. You have to turn the DPC badges back in.

Just the grille badge, that is all. The chips, boards, etc, can be kept. We also can engrave the badge "retired" and send it back to the owner for $10
