Changing Class


Ron Green

Recommended Posts

I recently entered a car in the 27g production class for last weeks AACA spring meet at Carlisle. I did not make the show as it was not done. I had it registered anyhow as a do not judge.

Now I am thinking I would like to try to have it entered in class 35a, limited production as it is just that. Is this going to be a paperwork nightmare? Am I correct at assuming I will need to write a letter to the Vice President of judging explaining everything and to get the ball rolling?

Ron ~ Since it has never been entered for point judging, I would suggest you merely enter it in the other class next time, but first be sure it qualifies for that class. Writing to the current VP of Class Judging may be a waste of time. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> It may unleash a chain of confusion that could only lead to a decision not in the best interests of all concerned. That is if you even get a timely response.

SPECIFIED LIMITED PRODUCTION AND PROTOTYPE VEHICLES 1946-1971

(Class 35)

Postwar vehicles usually built by an independent manu-facturer intended for mass production. Major manufac-turers limited runs and prototype vehicles may also be accepted. In most cases the company failed and only a few examples were produced. A petition for acceptance into Class 35 must be submitted to the Vice President Class Judging with supporting documentation and infor-mation.

Crofton

(1959-63)

Kurtis 500M

(1954-55)

Dodge Firearrow

(1954)

Nash Ambassador-

Pininfarina

(1956)

EI Morocco

(1956-57)

Nash Healey

(1951-54)

Fitch Firebird

(1967)

Play Boy

(1947-51 )

Iso Rivolta

(1962-70)

Tucker

(1948)

Keller

(1948-49)

King Midget

(1946-70)

Competition models of specified Classic, Prestige, or Limited Production and Prototype vehicles will be entered in the proper competition class.

[color:"red"]Other makes of Classic, Prestige or Limited Production and Prototype vehicles may be accepted in these categories by [color:"red"] individual model upon written application with adequate documentation submitted to the AACA Vice President-Class judging for review by the AACA Judging Committee. A recommendation for approval must be ratified by the AACA Board of Directors.

This is from the 2000 Judges manual (closest at hand). Hopes it help some.

novaman thanks for your imput. I thought that was the direction that needed to be taken. I think a few more car types have been added to the list since 2000 as I saw a Bricklin entered in class 35 at the Carlisle meet.

I am going to try having my Amphicar approved for class 35. Very comparable to the Bricklin production numbers (2854 with 1500 left) however with many less Amphicar survivors (Amphicar 3878 with 1000 left?).

It really is ok with me being in either class as I will probably enter as a do a judge for a few years. I thought class 35 would be a little more laid back then 27g as them seem to have alot of cars.

<img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Sorry, I can't. As much as I like the Firebirds (always been nicer than the Camaros), I'm not really into them like I am the early Chevy IIs. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

How about enlightening me on the fitch Corvairs. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
