Guest ChaplainLar Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 How do I determine if my car is in HPOF or DPC class? (or another one?)I have a 2007 AACA Judging Manual, but can't find what I am looking for. Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Larry, I'm a novice at this too. So I'll expect someone to correct my mistakes here. Judging Manual;page 52 states that the HPOF class vehicles must be 35 years or older to participate. No previous National First Prize winners are accepted. There are more details on this page.Page 52 also states that DPC class vehicles are to be 25 years of age or older that have not obtained a national first prize. More details follow on page 53. This Judging Manual is on-line, but, in my case it's, in large print, making it hard for me to read on-line. I'd certainly suggest a judging school attendance to get a free manual. Lots to learn in this manual, I'll tell you.Ok, guys, correct me or add to this info!Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Wolf Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think you can turn back in the DPC then go for the HPOF.I was thinking of entering an Elgin in HPOF but didn't want to close the door on restoring it and entering it in class in the future, I was told I could turn in the HPOF certification and then enter it in class if I restored it.

R W Burgess Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 A letter to the VP of Judging, Joe Vincini will get the answer your looking for. I think everyone is really busy now getting ready for Hershey.WayneAs listed on this web site!Joe Vincini3 Robins Nest Drive Perrineville, NJ 08535Jvicini@aol.com <Jvicini@aol.com> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaman Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 The car gets certified on the show field by a sepcial team of judges. You register the car just like if was for a judged class but you need to decide on either the HPOF or DPC class.If the car is for the most part orginal, I'd go for the HPOF. If it is mostly restored, then DPC. If you're kind of on the fence,( car is kind of half and half) my advise would be to enter the HPOF and the cerification team will look at it (done same time as the judging), and make thier evaluiation. If it doesn't recieve it's certifaction in HPOF, then go for the DPC Class in the future. HPOF is a bit of a hard class to get people to understand. Basically they look at the four areas; enigne, interior, exterior and chassis just like in judging but they are looking for what's orginal. They get a percentage for each of the areas then total it up for an overall average. That overall average needs to be 65% or higher.The form is on page 48 of the judging manual 2008 Juding Guidelines Page 51 and 52 gives the explaination of the class.
