Photos for the record.  That's one sweet original 1934 Pontiac Eight Sport Coupe 2/4-passenger, an AACA HPOF Class-ready participant.

I would have thought that he could sense that a 34 3 window has entered the forum.

Wire wheels were optional, correct?

According to The Standard Catalog of American Cars, 1805-1942, edited by B. R. Kimes and H. A. Clark states under Technical: "wire-spoke wheels" were the standard equipment wheels, no mention of stamped disk wheels in the options list.  Dual side mounts and covers, trunk rack, front bumper, bumper guards, are listed as options.

This is how I like 'em.

 

The way the rear window contour follows the curve of the body belt line is so elegant.  What a beaut.

This car does not look bad with the duel side mounts, but would flow and have a much cleaner look with out them. I am guessing A.J. Would want a large set of white wall tires on it.🤨

Does the repaint and "new" interior on a car such as this still qualify it for HPOF?

What judging class allows only 10 or 20% refurb to still be considered original?  Paint and interior work these days can cost more than an old car is worth and is not "factory original"  Who is to say a car with an expensive major upgrade, even though it may be to "factory original" specs,is only 10 to 20% of the package? By the same token, a rebuilt engine could be virtually impossible to detect. Is that considered by HPOF judging standards? 

 

Please help me with a layman's understanding of the HPOF rules without referring me to the archives and technical rule books.  Thanks.

Reynard:

AACA judges would have to answer your questions on what is allowed and not in the HPOF Class.  There appears to be some degree of flexibility on various aspects of the cars submitted to that judging classification.

If anyone is really interested in more information about this car, I'm about 35 minutes from Newton, NJ and can check the car out for you.
