sambarn Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hey all, I'm considering bringing my 1958 Bliss Surrey to a national and can't really determine the class it should be in. It is a street legal (as of 1958) vehicle, headlights, turn signals and brake lights. There were only 500 built so would it be in the limited production class, 35. It has less than 100" wheelbase and less than four cylinders so it would be 35B. But it is also a factory built replica of a 1903 Curved Dash Olds so would it be 35C - Second generation Collector vehicle? or is simply production class? Or due to it's small size would it better end up in 4B - the micro through midsize foreign car class? It's far smaller than my Morris Minor. I'm just not sure what I need to do to register her for a show. Any help would be appreciated. -Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Sam, Personally, I suspect that Second Generation Collector Vehicles is the most appropraite class, but I suggest you email Hulon McCraw and ask him. <address>Hulon C.

sambarn Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Matt,Thanks -that's what I felt as well but I'm not sure I can come up with the level of documentation required. I hope I can so that this unrestored little cutie gets the acronym of AACAHPOFSGCV. ( try saying that three times). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 4B or not 4B, that is the question, whether 'tis nobler in the minds of judges to be a SGV or...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimacar Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 My family cringes every time I break into remembered SP (and that's not a car model name)....tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, life creeps in its petty pace (car?) from day to day, and all our yesterday's have lighted fools the way to dusty death....out, out, brief candle, life's but a player who frets and struts his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more [hey, it's from memory, don't start correcting me!]Glad to see there's some real class on this forum.....and leave you with this...the quality of mercy is not strained, although no mercy at a dealership will fix a 2007 Jeep with a defective transmission control module for free........oops, my brother's problem sorta got into that one...

Steve Moskowitz Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Sam,As you might suspect I am very familiar with the Bliss. As of today the Bliss is not approved for any AACA class. It would have to be petitioned through the SGCV Committee for eligibility. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ussms Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I hate to change the subject but have been reading these post and you sound like some one that might know where I can buy a 1903 curved dash Olds. I live in MA so the CDO would have to be some place I can drive to. I know of one made by Mclean but it is on the west coast. YIKES!Steve Simmonsussms1@charter.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Steve, CDO's come up for sale regularly. If you seriously plan on getting one then you should join the CDO Club as there is usally one for sale in each issue of the magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ussms Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I have purchased 2 CDOs since I did that post so I guess I need to find out how to get rid of it. Can you please tell me how to join the CDO club?ThanksSteve Simmonsussms1@charter.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
