2005 Buick Club of America Judging Handbook
7th Edition
If a Buick Club of America National or Regional meet or
car show is a judged event, the current BCA National Judging
Forms must be used. All National Meets will use the 400 point
judging forms and it is suggested that they be utilized at
Regional Meets. Although judging and awards at National
Meets are directed toward recognition of excellence of original
and authentically restored Buicks, all members are welcome and
invited to participate and to display their Buicks, whether modified
or unrestored, at any BCA event. The BCA local club sponsoring
the event may, at its option, provide a separate display area for
modified or non-judged Buicks, and may offer awards recognizing
such participation, which are not BCA National Awards and are
not awarded by BCA judging teams. There is no class separation
within the “display only” category of vehicles when the 400
point judging system is used at the meet. The forms must be
used in their basic state and concept in line with the instructions.
BCA Peer and 400 point judging form masters, along
with support and scoring form masters, are available from the
BCA Office and should be copied for use at BCA meets.
A. INTRODUCTION
All judging information contained herein can be adapted to
regional and local meets, with the exception of Senior, Senior
Preservation, Archival and Drivers Awards. These special classes
can only be awarded at a National Meet.
This handbook is produced for the guidance of both the
restorer and the critic of Buick automobiles. It is doubted that
such a handbook could ever be complete. Legitimate exceptions
or improvements will be found to the policies and guidelines as
stated herein. It is hoped that succeeding editions will become
more complete, more definitive and more authoritative with
additions and corrections discovered by student restorers and
new research. This is not an end, but a beginning. We hope
that in the one-hundredth edition the same may still be said.
–McClellan G. Blair, BCA National Chief Judge, May 1989
B. PHILOSOPHY
BCA National Awards are based on how well the vehicle
compares to the original factory product as judged under the
BCA 400-point system. The three key items to be considered
in evaluating the vehicle for these awards are authenticity,
condition and workmanship.
The Gold, Silver and Bronze awards honor those vehicles
that meet the minimum point requirements as described in the
BCA Judging Handbook. Here condition and workmanship
are of prime importance.
The Senior Award honors those Buicks that most nearly
represent the vehicle as it left the factory. For this award,
authenticity together with condition and workmanship are of
primary importance. To assure consistency for this award, within
classes, between classes and between meets, eleven specific items
that are considered most significant regarding authenticity have
been selected. A vehicle must be correct in these eleven items to
meet the requirements for the Senior Award. In addition, the
vehicle must attain a minimum of 390 points.
2005 BCA JUDGING HANDBOOK 7TH EDITION
By using this system, BCA provides recognition of a Senior
Award for those members who restore a vehicle to factory
condition. It also provides for those members who choose to
restore and/or maintain a vehicle at a level where the car can be
driven regularly. All member’s Buicks are still eligible and
encouraged to compete for the BCA National Senior, Gold,
Silver or Bronze awards, regardless of the authenticity, condition
and workmanship of the car, and for the Archival Award for
unrestored Buicks.
C. HISTORY
The initiation of this formal point judging at BCA
National Meets began with the adoption of a standardized judging
form comprising a 400 point system in 1989. The first meet in
which this system was employed was the 1989 National Meet
held in Batavia, New York, hosted by the Finger Lakes Chapter.
Prior to this, beginning with the first National Meet in 1971
hosted by Buick Motor Division and the BCA, some meets were
judged, others were unjudged; and of those judged, numerous
systems were employed.
D. GENERAL JUDGING POLICIES
The most general guideline is that all Buicks are to be
presented and evaluated knowledgeably, impartially, consistently,
courteously and fairly. This critical evaluation should be an
educational process for both the restorer/owner and the judging
team. A free flow of information is encouraged for the
improvement of both judge and judged. It shall be the owner’s
responsibility to document the authenticity or correctness of
any feature of his/her vehicle to the satisfaction of the judging
team. In the event of a dispute, the Head Judge and Deputies
are empowered to arbitrate a resolution. In the event that an
authenticity dispute arises over a matter as printed in this
handbook, the owner’s documentation shall be provided to the
Head Judge of the meet. The Head Judge will subsequently
present the documentation for possible modification of this
handbook to the Chief Judge of the BCA if warranted by the
evidence. Acceptance (or denial) of the evidence for purposes of
the meet shall not prejudice the review of such evidence by
BCA, or its ultimate inclusion by alteration of this handbook.
E. GUIDELINES FOR FAIRNESS
AND CONSISTENCY IN JUDGING
A judging team should consist of a Team Captain, at least
one other judge and apprentices (optimum size for team is
four). The combined experience and knowledge of the judging
team should cover extensively all the cars in that particular class.
Each judging team should look over the entire class before
starting on that class. Judges should not touch an entry. It is
imperative that the owner or a representative be with
the vehicle during the judging process. If the owner is not
present, the team moves to the next vehicle, unless prior
arrangements are made between the Team Captain and the
owner, or a notation is made on the windshield card that the
owner is a judge, specifying which class the owner is judging,
and specifically authorizing the Team Captain to open whatever
accesses would be required to facilitate judging. In this case, as
an accommodation to a fellow judge, if a major authenticity
1
point deduction is mandated, the Deputy Team shall be
summoned to adjudicate the item of non-authenticity and shall
consult with the owner-judge if necessary in their deliberations.
If an absent owner is located before the judging is completed in
that class, then his or her vehicle should be judged; otherwise, it
shall not be judged.
Keep in mind that the vehicles you will be judging
are production vehicles that came off an assembly line. The
judging standard in any particular area should rate how this
vehicle compares to the original factory product. If any judged
item is as good as original it should receive no deductions in
that category. Of course, if a better quality of workmanship is
found and the vehicle has not been modified in any way from
original, then it still receives no deductions. All parts should be
as original, factory replacement or dealer option equipment as
defined elsewhere in this judging handbook. As an example,
painted items should be painted only in correct colors and only
originally plated items should be plated and with the correct
type of plating. Non-authentic components should receive a
full deduction of all points allocated to that item.
Every judge should keep in mind that he or she is judging
each vehicle individually on its own merit. A vehicle starts out
with the maximum number of points allowed in each category.
Points are then deducted according to the severity of the defect.
If a vehicle meets all standard requirements for factory new
condition, then the judge should not deduct points just because
the last vehicle judged had a million dollar paint job and this
one has a factory issue paint job. Both vehicles have met or
exceeded the original quality requirements for full points. Do
not deduct fractional points.
F.
DUTIES OF THE OWNER/EXHIBITOR
To enter your vehicle and present it for judging at a
BCA National or Regional Meet, you will have a number of
obligations to which you must adhere in order to qualify for
entry and be judged fairly. These requirements and suggestions
are listed below. It is also recommended that you familiarize
yourself with the judging rules and guidelines which will be
used by the judging system in the evaluation of your car, in
order to avoid misunderstanding and disappointment with the
result. Owners are encouraged/invited to participate in the
judging process by being a judge to learn first-hand how your
car will be evaluated when it is entered for judging.
1. The car (or cars) to be judged must be owned by
a current National member of the Buick Club of
America.
2. Entry must be made prior to the stated deadline and
to the designated individual or address, and
must be complete. Your National Meet Registration
Form must be fully completed, including your vehicle
identification number, or frame number in the case of
early vintage Buicks. Failure to provide a complete
and accurate registration form will result in disqualification
from judging.
3. If your car is a registered Senior or Archival Award
winner, information must be provided to identify it as
required by the Head Judge.
4. You must comply with all of the instructions of the
Head Judge regarding the judging process including
2
directions as to times, places and procedures. You
should read all instructions carefully.
5. All cars judged under the 400-point system (Classes A
thru R) must complete the Pre-Qualification
Operational Check prior to field judging. Failure to
do so will result in disqualification from judging.
Vehicles registered in the Unrestored, Drivers, and
Modified Classes are no subject to the check.
6. You must have all of the proper registration materials
with your vehicle and they must be properly displayed.
The windshield card must affixed to the windshield
and the judging form must be completely filled out and
presented to the Pre-Qualification Check team where
it will be collected for use of the field judging team.
You must have an operational/charged UL approved fire
extinguisher in your vehicle located where it is readily
accessible. Safety glass in the windshield is required if
vehicle has been restored. The vehicle will automatically
be disqualified for judging if both requirements are
not met. Your vehicle must be on the show field in its
proper class on the day of field judging at the time
and place designated by the Head Judge.
7. Your car must stay on the judging field until the official
end of the meet, or until told specifically by the Head
Judge that you may leave. You may not remove your
vehicle once the judging team passes you. However
you may leave your vehicle unattended, if you wish,
once the “judged” label has been affixed to your
windshield card.
8. You or your designated representative must be
in attendance at your vehicle while it is being judged.
Judges in other classes may designate the Team
Captain to be their representative. You will be asked
to provide access to the judging team and must do this
in response to their request. You or your designated
representative must also be present to answer questions
of the Team Captain and to provide authenticity
documentation regarding your car.
9. It is your duty to be sure your car is placed in the proper
class. If other cars with which you are lined up are not
of a similar year or model, chances are good that
you have been misplaced. If this is the case, immediately
contact the registration desk or a member of the
judging staff.
10. You should not speak with members of the judging
team while they are carrying out their duties.
Officially, only the Team Captain should enter into
discussions with you. He/she will discuss with you only
matters pertaining to access, proper classification of your
car, your completion of the top portion of the judging
form and matters related to authenticity. No judge is
authorized to discuss with you the point scoring of
your car, but may tell you of certain major defects
which have affected your score. Please do not request
scoring information on the field.
11. You may, and should, request a copy of your judging
form from the National Office of the BCA following
the meet. To do so, you must include a self-addressed
stamped envelope and tell the office the year, model

and class in which the car was shown. The Office
Manager asks that you allow 6 to 8 weeks from the
date of request for receipt of the copy. Forms will be
available September 1 thru December 31 of the year
the judged meet was held. After December 31, a
$5.00 fee will be charged for each copy requested.
Please remember that the decisions of the field judges
are final and cannot be changed after the meet. If you
take exception to the decision of the judges on a
particular matter of authenticity, it is advisable to
take documentation on the matter to the next
meet and/or forward your documentation to the
attention of the National Chief Judge.
It is your duty to authenticate the car and restoration.
You should take with you, and make available to the
Team Captain upon request, such information
in support of the vehicle, materials, or work, as
may be required.
As this is a Buick club, we are prepared to judge
only Buick vehicles. Custom bodies of recognized
contemporary manufacturers on Buick chassis and
Buick powered custom bodied documented race cars
are welcomed; however, all such vehicles must be fully
documented by the exhibitor or deductions in judging
must be taken for all non-Buick components.
You should not assume that because an item came with
your car when you bought it that it is authentic even
if you bought the car new from the dealer. Each item,
and particularly accessories, should be authenticated
for your year and model.
When on the judging field, it is recommended that
you critically evaluate your competition. Look for
differences between cars. Discuss these differences
with the owners in a friendly fashion.
If you are awarded a Senior or Archival Award, you
must complete the registration form which fully
identifies the car for BCA records. If you sell this
vehicle, it is requested that you notify the BCA of the
name and address of the new owner.
You should consider becoming a BCA judge. It is a
friendly and informative process, and the information
gained is nearly essential if you plan to be a serious
contender for trophies.
G. CRITERIA TO BE A BCA JUDGE
To qualify to be a BCA national judge the following
requirements must be met:
1. Candidate must be a current National member

8.
Candidates will find it particularly helpful to
have personally restored a vehicle prior to judging
others, though this is not a requirement. There is no
superior means for the development of empathy,
consideration and respect, as well as a keen eye
for detail.
Candidate must attend judging school to become
more skillful, knowledgeable and be willing to accept
instruction from and give it to others.
Candidate must recognize, that to the owner, being
judged is serious business. The owner expects and
should receive no less than honest, candid and
knowledgeable criticism, courteously and diplomatically
communicated.
H. PROCEDURE TO BECOME A JUDGE
If a candidate feels qualified to be a national judge, he or
she should contact the Meet Judge through the host chapter not
later than 30 days prior to the meet.
Information to be included in this application should include:
1. Past judging experience, including the number of
times he/she has judged at national events, number of
times he/she has judged at BCA National Meets,
number of judging schools attended and a phone
number for contact by the head judge if needed.
2. Judging class requested, with alternate choice.
3. Class, if any, in which the car of the candidate, his
family or another whose car the candidate would find
difficult to judge impartially has been entered
for judging.
4. Area or classes of particular expertise .
5. Preference, if any, for Judging Administration.
Judging schools will be held on the day prior to the
meet. Candidates should attend the judging school.
If more than one training session is offered, a candidate
should inform the Head Judge of the session to
be attended.
Candidates who have not previously judged at a National
Meet may be assigned apprentice or clerk responsibilities. In
this capacity, the candidate will learn judging principles and
procedures while participating in practical judging experience in
an advisory capacity.
Candidates who have not sent an application form to the
Head Judge as specified in paragraph 1 above must contact the
Head Judge prior to the Judges School for permission to attend
the breakfast and receive an assignment.
Judges must attend the Judges Breakfast and complete the
commitment to judge. If the candidate will be unable to do
either, the Head Judge should be contacted as early as possible
so that those responsibilities may be reassigned. It is an
imposition to fail to meet your judging commitment without
prior notification.
Judges are awarded Experience Recognition Awards for their
participation in the judging program.

ORGANIZATION OF NATIONAL MEET JUDGES
Duties and Responsibilities of the Team Judge
The team judge must observe everything in the
category of his or her responsibility, evaluate the observation
against the standard of factory authenticity, workmanship and
maintenance and faithfully and impartially report any
discrepancies found. It is of utmost importance that each
judge’s task be performed correctly and knowledgeably, as both
the reputation and validity of BCA judging and the standards
set by successful vehicles and the support of owner registrant me
bers, are at stake. The epithet “tough but fair” should be applied
to the team judge.
Team judges must:
a. Attend the Judging School preceding the meet.
b. Judges must attend the Judges Breakfast on the day of
the meet.
c. Arrive at your predetermined location on the judging
field promptly at the designated time and place.
d. Receive your category assignment and Individual
Category Work sheet from the Team Captain.
e. Receive your instructions for the day from the Team

comments and discussion takes place out of earshot of
the owner or other interested spectators.
i. Correctly and completely fill out the Judges Participation
Card and present it to the Team Captain at the
completion of judging.
2. Duties and Responsibilities of the Team Captain
The Team Captain is responsible for on-field conduct of
BCA judging policy. The Team Captain is also responsible for
the preservation and augmentation of good relations between
BCA judging and the BCA member-owners. This position is
therefore one of greatest importance to the success of the
judging process. The Team Captain is the leader of the judging
team and serves as liaison between that team and both the
owner of each car judged and the judging system as represented
by the BCA, the Judging Officials and this manual. He/she is
responsible for ensuring that all judging activities are carried out
in a fair, courteous and impartial fashion and is to lead, instruct,
and guide the members of the team to that end result.
The Team Captain will arrive on the field prior to the
designated time. Initially inventory all vehicles in your class to
see that they are correctly placed on the field. Check all cars
against the roster. Notify your Deputy of any differences, and
instruct owners if they must move.
The Team Captain shall obtain from the owner the completed
judging form, check the correctness, completeness and legibility
of the information provided and make additions and corrections
as required. He will then:
a. Assign each team member to a responsibility in one of
the four categories of judging; exterior, interior, chassis
or engine.
4
b.
Give assistance to any team member as required or
requested.
c. Be the only member of the team to converse with the
vehicle owner.
d. Assign a team member to place “Judged” stickers on
the windshield card at completion of judging.
e. Assign a team member to verify completion of
the Pre-Qualification Check process which includes
operational fire extinguisher on all vehicles and
safety glass in the windshield of restored vehicles.
Non-conforming vehicles are not eligible for judging.
If a vehicle is disqualified for any reason, a statement
of disqualification and its cause shall be made on the
judging sheet and on the reverse of the windshield
card.
f. Give special attention to new judges. Provide leadership
and instruction. Provide guidance to any team member
who is unfairly critical or too lax.
g. Insure that only team members are present when
judging discussions are held. All reporting of individual
judges must be done as privately as possible.
h. Initial any changes which have been entered on
the form.
i. Receive and discuss evidence of authenticity
with the owner.
j. Refer evidence in conflict with the judging manual to
the Deputy Judging Team for consideration of merit.
k. Critically evaluate the evidence and render a decision
which shall be reflected on the judging sheet.
l. If the evidence is unsatisfactory, and the owner
requests arbitration, the Team Captain shall call upon
the Deputy Judging Team to arbitrate the decision.
m. Enter on the judging form all items of deduction,
make notations in the comment column, total each
column, enter the Summary column of the form, total
the score, determine the placement, in order of
descending score, confirm the reasonableness of
the placement and sign the judging form under
“Team Captain.” Double check all entries on the
judging form.
n. Complete each judging form entirely before moving to
the next car to be judged. Verify that point deduction
is being taken for the correct entry.
o. If they are to be judged, begin with the Senior,
Preservation and Archival Award vehicles in your class.
p. Continue judging with evaluation of all remaining
non-special-class vehicles.
q. Submit the completed judging forms to the Deputies
for their verification, approval and signature before
leaving the field. Then the team will deliver them to
the Judging Administration office.
r. Collect the individual Category Worksheets, complete
the Team Captain Reporting Form and turn them in
at the Judging Administration Office at the conclusion
of the judging.
s. Collect the Judge’s Participation Cards at the conclusion
of judging, while your team is awaiting verification of
your results at Administration. Turn them in at the
Judging Administration Office. Receive the “Judges
2005 BCA JUDGING HANDBOOK 7TH EDITION
Participation Pins” and distribute them to the team
members before releasing your team.
3. Duties and Responsibilities of the Deputy Judge
The Deputy Judge’s function is to assist and supervise the
judging teams to which they are assigned on the judging field.
Responsibilities:
a. The Deputy Judges will ideally work in teams of two.
Each pair of the Deputies will be assigned to a class or
classes and the teams judging those classes.
b. Prior to commencement of the judging, the Deputies
will check over all of the classes assigned to them and
verify all vehicles to be in proper class. Discuss your
results with your Team Captains. At that time, make
note of special observations for future reference when
checking over the judging forms.
c. During field judging, the Deputies will be available at
all times to assist the judging teams. They will provide
any needed advice and/or assistance and will assure
that judging has been carried out properly. It is the
Deputies’ responsibility to provide guidance if any
team is being unfairly critical or lax in following
judging guidelines.
d. The Deputies will determine if the Head Judge or
Arbitration Team is required to provide assistance, and
shall summon that assistance if needed.
e. Class Deputies will obtain all judging forms after all
vehicles in class have been judged. The Deputies will
verify the results as shown on the judging forms and
check all entries for correctness against the judges
work sheets.
f. Deputies will carefully check and verify items of
mandatory deduction (circled items) for specified
maximum deductions. Deputies should critically
evaluate and confirm sheets on all cars qualifying
for awards.
g. Evidence received which differs from standards established in this manual and other BCA official publications and which in the Deputy’s opinion has merit
shall be transmitted to the Chief Judge by copy. If a
copy is not available, a notation in the appropriate area
of the judging form of the nature of the proof provided
shall be made, including the document title, page
number and the item to be corrected in this manual.
h. Deputies should sign the judging forms in the proper
location and release the team to go together to the
Judging Administration Office.
i. Deputies should complete a team evaluation form for
each of the Team Captains supervised and return this
form to the Judging Administration Office.
4. Duties and Responsibilities of the Assistant Head Judge
The Assistant Head Judge shall have responsibilities
as follows:
a. Provide details of time and location of the judges
breakfast and judging school. The school should be
conducted at the meet headquarters location.
b. Select an adequate location for the judges breakfast as
close to the judging field as possible.
c. Work closely with the Registration Chairperson
in verifying all vehicle registrations as to proper
vehicle identification.
2005 BCA JUDGING HANDBOOK 7TH EDITION

procedures for Head Judges at all BCA National Meets are set
forth in detail below.) The name of the Head Judge and assistant
at the BCA National Meet should be communicated to the
National Chief judge. The Head Judge must be approved by
the Chief Judge and BCA Board of Directors. If the Head Judge
is not a member of the Host Chapter and is therefore not able
to attend the regular committee meetings, an assistant shall be
selected from the Host Chapter to represent him at the meetings
and to perform tasks that must be done on a local basis.
The Head Judge is responsible for all matters pertaining to
the actual judging of vehicles at the National Meet. He shall:
a. Report regularly and work closely with BCA Chief
Judge and Meet Chairman.
b. Receive all judges registration forms.
c. Predetermine the number of judges which will be
needed.
d. Work closely with the Registration Chairperson in
verifying all vehicle registrations as to proper class.
e. Review the prepared Vehicle Roster of all vehicles,
establish classes and assign each vehicle to a class.
Classes should be divided when entrants exceed 19.
f. Establish the Judging Teams, Deputy Teams,
Arbitration Team, Judging Administration Team and
National Award Team.

g.
Prepare a Judges Roster according to team assignment
and have copies prepared for distribution at the judges
breakfast.
h. Co-preside over the judges breakfast.
i. Administer the judging of vehicles at the Meet.
j. Be responsible for the announcement of award
winners at the awards ceremony, as may be requested
by the host chapter.
k. Immediately following the Meet, forward a Judges

Reporting Form (with each judge’s individual
Category Work sheet attached), the Winner Record,
and the vehicle roster to the BCA Office.
l. Following the Meet, collect and transmit all evidence
which supports or challenges statements of authenticity
made in this manual or any other official BCA support
document. All of this material should be forwarded to
the BCA Chief Judge. If copies are not available, the
name and address of the individual providing the
documentation, the title of the publication, page
number and nature of the correction should be stated,
or it will not be included in any official BCA support
document.
m. The Head Judge should complete a Team Evaluation
Form for each of the Deputies supervised and return
this form to the Judging Administration Office.
J.
JUDGES RECORDS
The BCA began to keep records, beginning in 1989, of all
those judges who have participated in National Meets. This
information is used for assignment of judging responsibilities
for future meets. Records are to be maintained by the Chairman
of Judges Records with copies to be provided to the Chief Judge,
the BCA Office and the Head Judge of the next National Meet.
K. JUDGE’S RECOGNITION AWARD
Your effort and time expended in behalf of the membership
is appreciated and acknowledged through the Judge’s
Recognition Award system. Experience points are earned
through participation in BCA judging activities as follows:
1 point for attendance at judging school
1 point for field judging or judging administration
2 points for Captain assignment in field judging
2 points for Deputy assignment in field judging
2 points per year for membership in a National Judging
committee
2 points for Arbitration Team assignment at a National
Meet
2 points for head of Judging Administration (if different
from Assistant Head Judge)
2 points for Head Judge at a regional meet using the 400
point system
3 points for Assistant Head Judge at a National Meet
4 points for Head Judge at a National Meet
3 points per year for Chairman of Pre-Qualification Check
2 points per year for Chairman of Judges Records
2 points per year of Chairman of Senior & Archival Records
National Meet points are not additive; if you are an
Assistant Head Judge, you get 3 points, without 1 additional
point as a judge. In other words, at a national Meet you receive
credit for the judging activity with the highest point value, plus
1 point for attending the Judges Training School. In addition,
points are earned annually for serving in one of the Boardappointed positions listed above.
Judges with 1-9 experience point credits receive the
National Judge Award, on blue background with the BCA logo.
Judges with 10-24 experience point credits receive the Senior
Judge Award on white background. Judges with 25-49 experience point credits receive the Master Judge Award on red background. Judges with 50-99 experience point credits receive the
Senior Master Judge Award on green background. Judges with
100 or more experience credit points receive the Grand Master
Judge Award on gold background.
L. THE JUDGES ROSTER
1. From the information mailed to the Head Judge by
each prospective judge, the Head Judge will be responsible
for assignments and the preparation of the Judges
Roster. The roster is a listing of each judge and the
task assigned at that particular meet. It shows every
team and every official present at the meet, by assignment.
2. If possible, a judge who pre-registers for the meet
should be assigned to the team requested. In some
cases , this will not be possible, as more requests for a
particular class are received than spots on the team.
Second choices are then utilized in most cases with the
same exception.
3. A team member shall never judge in a class where
he/she or a family member has a vehicle registered or
has a prejudicial interest in the vehicle to be judged.
4. Family members should not be placed on the same
judging team. This includes spouses or parents and
children.
5. There should be at least four judges per team, plus the
Team Captain. In the event of small classes, a team
may be assigned to judge more than one class. No
judging team should have fewer than three members,
plus the Team Captain. In some instances, very large
classes may be split, with two judging teams being
utilized when a class exceeds 20 vehicles.
6. Sufficient copies of the judges roster should be
prepared for distribution at the judges breakfast.
Additional copies will be required in the Judging
Administration Office.
7. The Head Judge should prepare an alphabetical roster
of judges with their team assignments for use in
determining attendance at the breakfast and to assist
in proper seating of teams.
Additional experience points are earned annually for serving in
the following judging-related Board-appointed positions:
4 points per year for Chairman, Judges Training
4 points per year for National Chief Judge

2005 BCA JUDGING HANDBOOK 7TH EDITION
M. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE JUDGING
OF ENTRIES
1. The judging forms are designed to ensure a uniform
system for scoring and judging all eligible BCA
member-owned vehicles. They serve as a checklist to
prevent duplication of deductions and to insure that
the deductions are scored consistently with the
standards prescribed by the BCA and its national
judging guidelines.
2. Each vehicle should be judged for authenticity,
workmanship and condition; however, points should
not be deducted for subsequent addition of safety
items specifically listed in section T, General
Considerations. These items, if present, must be
installed with good workmanship and be in good
working condition.
3. All vehicles to be judged at National and Regional
Meets must be owned by current members
of the BCA.
4. All vehicles to be judged must have a UL approved fire
extinguisher in an easily accessible place in the vehicle.
5. All vehicles to be judged must have safety glass unless
they are unrestored original.
6. Judges are instructed not to touch vehicles. The
owner, or authorized representative, must be present
when the vehicle is being judged. The owner
will provide all access to the vehicle as required by the
judging team. The Owner/Judge should delegate a
representative to perform this function.
7. All open vehicles must be shown with the top up. Side
curtains must be available for viewing, but need not be
installed. The same applies to the dust cover or boot.
8. The owner is responsible for demonstrating that the
features of the vehicle being judged are authentic. In
the event of uncertainties, the Head Judge of the
meet will make the final determination of any
point deductions.
9. Literature should be used for documentation purposes
only. Literature is defined as factory or dealer material.
Magazine ads, articles, etc., while interesting, do not
constitute acceptable documentation.
10. No points should be deducted for damage that
occurred enroute to the meet.
11. Accessories authenticity shall be defined as follows: Pre
1943 accessories may be of after market type, only if
no competing Buick product was offered. They, or
Buick options and accessories are acceptable as long as
they are authentic to that year or era. 1946 or later
vehicle accessories must be factory authorized Buick
options only. Accessories should not add to point
scores. Accessories should be judged for condition and
whether they appear to be in good working order.
12. All vehicles that have been trailered to the meet must
be unloaded off the show field proper and must be
driven under their own power onto the show field.
Vehicle trailers are not allowed on the show field.
13. The Assistant Head Judge coordinates scheduling and
staffing of other participant events, such as Pre-Judging
Qualification Checks, as he determines necessary. These
2005 BCA JUDGING HANDBOOK 7TH EDITION
must not interfere with the judging program
contained in this manual.
It is requested that the host chapter for local or regional
meets make available copies of the judging form if requested by
an owner for his individual vehicle. The judging forms from a
National Meet are to be sent to the National Office after the
meet. An individual owner can get a copy of his or her judging
form upon written request, by including a self-addressed
stamped envelope, to the BCA National Office. This practice
will allow an owner to improve his or her vehicle and support
the BCA’s basic premise of preserving or restoring vehicles to
original factory condition.
N. THE BCA FORMAL JUDGING FORM
All vehicles are to be judged using one of BCA’s two
Formal Judging Forms. Classes A thru P are judged using the
“traditional” Formal Judging Form while Classes Q and R are to
be judged using the Modern Era Formal Judging Form. The
judging form acts as a complete check list. Each team can judge
uniformly from car to car, therefore the judging data can be
more fairly compared from class to class and from year to year.
O. BASIC GUIDELINES FOR THE USE OF
THE BCA FORMAL JUDGING FORM
AND AWARD OF TROPHIES
A system of using a Minimum Number of Points for Gold,
Silver and Bronze is necessary for fairness between cars, classes
and meets. These minimums are: Gold 385, Silver 370, Bronze
355. The minimum point system assures the same high quality of
Buick cars in all classes and at all meets from year to year.
The deduction method is used for the scoring system. It has
the advantage of simplicity in that it is easier to count defects,
tally them and subtract from the assigned perfect value than to
count and add all the good points of a particular vehicle. 400 is
the basis for the final (perfect) score.
P.
AWARDS CLASS JUDGING
Awards in class judging for all meets, be they Regional or
National, utilizing the 400 point system, must be limited to
three placings; Gold, Silver and Bronze in each class. Duplicate
awards are required in the event of ties. Conversely, awards
need not be made in all placings if not warranted by the scoring
and award rules. A vehicle that is judged in class for a Gold,
Silver or Bronze award is ineligible to receive an Archival Award
or a Drivers Award at the same Meet. Other awards may be
given at the discretion of the host chapter, such as Long
Distance, Hard Luck, Best of Show, etc. At National Meets utilizing the 400 point judging form, minimum point scores are
required to qualify for awards of each placing status. The point
score ranges for each category are:
Gold
385-400 Points
Silver
370-384 Points
Bronze
355-369 Points
A winner scoring 390 or above in class judging, with no
mandatory authenticity deductions, shall be designated by the
BCA as a Senior car and shall be judged as a Senior car at future
meets, where it may qualify to receive the BCA Senior
Preservation Award.
7
JUDGING SENIOR VEHICLES
The Senior Award presented by the BCA is designated to
honor those vehicles which have proven themselves to be the
finest Buicks in their class. In order to qualify for the Senior
Award, a vehicle must be judged at a BCA National Meet at
which the 400 point judging form is utilized. The vehicle must
attain a minimum of 390 points with no mandatory
deductions. (ref. BCA Judging Form). Once a vehicle has been
designated a Senior, it is ineligible to be judged in class for
Senior or placement awards at subsequent National meets.
However, upon conforming to the following guidelines a Senior
vehicle may be judged and qualify for a BCA Preservation
Award. Senior cars are to be judged by their class team under
the 400 point judging system (using gold color judging forms).
A vehicle must attain at least 370 points and have no mandatory
deductions to receive the BCA Senior Preservation Award. If
any Senior vehicle being judged at a National Meet does not
achieve a score of 370 points or receives a mandatory deduction,
it may be judged for a BCA Senior Preservation Award at future
National meets. A Senior vehicle being judged for a Senior
Preservation Award is ineligible to receive an Archival Award or
Drivers Award at the same Meet.
Host chapters may use their own discretion to determine if
BCA Senior cars may be judged for placement awards at regional
and local meets.
UNRESTORED VEHICLE CLASS
The BCA recognizes and encourages the preservation of
fine examples of unrestored Buicks. Once restored or replaced,
the archival value of original features and materials is forever
lost. Unrestored cars therefore provide an invaluable treasure
and actual examples of Buick production. The BCA also
encourages the display of these original vehicles as an accessible
resource for restorers. To that end, the BCA has established a
certification, and award program for Archival vehicles more
than 25 model years old entered in National Meets.
Vehicles entered in the Unrestored Class shall be declared at
the time of registration and shall be judged solely on originality,
and not on workmanship or condition. All Unrestored and
Archival vehicles are to be parked in a separate class (Class U)
and judged by a special team of experienced judges jointly
selected by the Chief Judge and Head Judge. A car registered in
the Unrestored Class is ineligible to receive a Class Award
(Gold, Silver or Bronze), a Senior Preservation Award or a
Drivers Award. Records shall be kept of all such vehicles, as
they are for Senior Buicks, so that the archival information may
be retrieved.
Scoring
Archival vehicles will be judged in class by the regularly
assigned class judging team for the class appropriate to
the vehicle, and shall include the class’ Deputy and Team
Captain who shall assist the team judges in verifying originality
of all components. Disputes shall be handled in the normal
manner through the Arbitration Team. All other rules for
owner contact and class judging shall apply to the judging of
Archival vehicles. Archival entrants may be located on the show
field with restored cars or in a separate area, at the discretion of
the host chapter.
8
Unrestored cars are to be judged using the 400 point
judging form (tan colored) to record scoring evaluation of each
vehicle, and this form shall be retained by the BCA. All
original (as delivered from the factory) components, including
finish, shall receive no deduction, regardless of condition, so
long as the original can be observed. Original components
which have received spot repair, but with original areas visible,
will be considered as original.
All authentic replacements which are not original shall
receive a deduction of 50% of the points assigned to that
category. This deduction would also apply to surfaces or components
which are obscured by rust, dirt, grease, new paint, or undercoating, to the extent that the original features are not visible.
All ? point scores resulting from this deduction shall be rounded
up to the next whole-point score. Otherwise, all non-original
replacements receive the maximum deduction.
Awards
All unrestored vehicles scoring 350 or more points shall
receive the Archival Award. An owner displaying a winning
vehicle for the first time shall receive the Archival Award plaque,
together with the Tri-shield tile inscribed with the year of the
award. Subsequent awards for the same vehicle will be of the
Tri-shield tile. The Archival Award badge, which is to be affixed
to and remain with the vehicle, shall be provided only with the
initial Archival Award to each vehicle upon completion of the
Archival Award Registration Form.
An Archival Award vehicle must be declared as such when
re-entering judging at subsequent National Meets, providing
the year of the initial award and any other identifying
information that may be required by the Head Judge, but as a
minimum the year, model, and vehicle identification number
(VIN). Archival Award cars are to be judged in the same manner as
Unrestored cars, except using a green colored 400-point judging
form to record the results so as to distinguish them as previous
award winners. If the entrant is a new owner, it should
be indicated on the application to enable your receipt of your
Archival Award Plaque, which is awarded once for each vehicle
to each owner.
BUICK NATIONAL DRIVEN AWARD
Purpose: The Buick National Driven Award exists to
encourage the driving of Buick automobiles to the Buick
National and give recognition to those cars doing so when they

a non-factory overdrive system. Body and trim must
be of components original and appropriate for the year
and model involved. The interior must be structurally
unaltered and structurally complete. The vehicle

safety purposes, such as, seat belts, turn signals, and
stop lights. Each car is required to have a U/L approved
fire extinguisher and safety glass, unless the car is an
unrestored original, per BCA rules.
Certification:
Each BCA member competing for the Buick National
Driven Award must sign a certification that the fore
going rules have been satisfied. Any false certification
will require a forfeiture and return of the Buick National
Driven Award and disqualify the BCA member involved,
and any Buick titled in such members name, from
consideration for any such award in the future.
Judging Procedure:
The judging related to the National Driven Award shall
be administered by the Driven Class Judge. There shall
be no judging form used, completed or preserved except

T. GUIDELINES FOR JUDGES:
HOW TO JUDGE A VEHICLE
All BCA members should be familiar with the BCA
Judging Handbook and judging forms to better understand and
prepare for judged competition. Reference to this material during
the restoration process can provide guidance as well. All judges
should review this material frequently. A judge who waits until
the morning of a show to review the judging guidelines does a
disservice to fellow club members.
A judge must, above all else, strive to be fair and unbiased.
A judge is representative of the BCA and is viewed and trusted
by those judged to be a knowledgeable expert who will judge
vehicles impartially, carefully and with consideration. Judges are
expected to recognize that all cars are to be compared to factory
original and to be consistent in deductions for all cars in class.
Each category should be judged against factory original condition
during the judging process. Points are to be deducted proportionately
to the degree of the defect when the judged area is less
than factory original condition. Judges should also adhere to
the following: When a mandatory deduction is found by the
judging team, the Team Captain shall notify the owner so that
he can agree that the mandatory deduction is appropriate or
that he has documentation to show that the item in question is
in fact correct.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
The car should not be judged if an operational UL
approved fire extinguisher is not displayed.
SAFETY GLASS
A restored car can not be judged if it does not have safety
glass in the windshield.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Each vehicle should be judged for authenticity, workmanship,
and condition; however, points should not be deducted
for subsequent addition of safety items specifically listed
below in this Judging Handbook. These items, if present,
must be installed with good workmanship, and be in
good working condition.
2. Nonauthentic safety items are acceptable if unobtrusive,
and installed with good workmanship. Such item
could include:
a. Turn signals
b. Outside rear view mirrors
c. Seat belts
d. Battery shut off switches
e. Auxiliary assist devices for handicapped drivers.
f. Wheel weights, if unpainted and applied in a
neat and proper fashion.
g. Fire safety apparatus, including the mandatory
extinguisher.
3. The owner, or authorized representative, must be present
when the vehicle is being judged. The owner
will provide all access to the vehicle as required by the
judging team.
4. All vehicles to be judged must have safety glass at least
in the windshield unless they are unrestored original.
12
5.
All open vehicles must be shown with the top up. Side
curtains must be available for viewing, but need not be
installed. The same applies to the dust cover or boot.
6. The owner is responsible for demonstrating that the
features of the vehicle being judged are authentic. In
the event of uncertainties, the Head Judge will make
the final determination of any point deductions.
7. Literature should be used for documentation purposes
only. Literature is defined as factory or dealer material.
Magazine ads, articles, etc., while interesting, do not
constitute acceptable documentation.
8. No points should be deducted for damage that
occurred enroute to the meet.
9. Authenticity of accessories shall be defined as follows:
Pre 1943 accessories may be of after market type only
if no competing Buick product was offered. They, or
Buick options and accessories are acceptable as long as
they are authentic to that year or model. 1946 or later
vehicle accessories must be factory authorized Buick
options only. Accessories do not add to point scores.
Each accessory should be judged for condition, authenticity
and workmanship. Any point deductions warranted
should be taken under the Accessories category.
10 All vehicles that have been trailered to the meet must
be unloaded off the show field proper, and must be
driven under their own power onto the show field.
Vehicle trailers are not allowed on the show field.
JUDGES COMMENTS
This area of the form is intended to permit judges to note
items and reasons for significant deductions in order to support
the premise that judging is a learning experience. It is neither
intended, desired or required that commentary be placed on
each or every line to support point deductions. On minor
deductions, judges must note whether points were deducted for
authenticity (a), workmanship (w), or condition (c) by placing
the appropriate letter in the A W C column.
JUDGING THE CHASSIS
The judge should not crawl under the car when judging the

APPENDIX XI
SIZES AND SHAPES OF CONVERTIBLE REAR WINDOWS, FISHER AND BUICK BODIES, 1916-1975
It must be initially remarked that convertible tops are an item which are regularly replaced during the active life of the car.
These replacements were almost never done by the dealer, and never at the factory. The trim shops at which they were most often
done were accustomed to the supply of rear windows from their general stock, and the distinctive rear windows supplied with the
car were consequently lost when the tops were replaced. It should not be taken for granted that the rear window which is in your
car is the same as that supplied originally in the factory, regardles of its appearance of age or condition. The following is a
documentation of factory-supplied convertible rear widows from 1916 through 1975.

APPENDIX XII
CONVERTIBLE TOP MATERIALS AND COLORS
Haartz cloth (rubberized cotton fabric) was used on all models through and including 1954, except for 1953 and 1954 Skylarks,
which used black or white Orlon. As Orlon top material is not available to restorers, no authenticity points should be deducted on
1953 and 1954 Skylarks using either a cloth or fine-point vinyl material, if black or white in color.
Haartz cloth is also no longer available to restorers. Stayfast, which is a heavier, multi-layered cloth material currently being used
in the manufacture of modern convertible tops, may be used in lieu of Haartz cloth with no point deduction for authenticity.
Haartz cloth was available in many colors, and many combinations of trim and top colors were used, but not many top material
colors. Pre-1936, it was virtually exclusively tan, and post-war it was exclusively black and tan. Below is a list of cloth convertible
top colors available, by year.
Tan: All years, 1929-1954
Gray: Buick bodies 1932
Brown: 1931
Black: 1936-1954
Blue-gray: 1937-1941
Blue: 1942
Beginning in 1955, convertible tops were made of vinyl. With the introduction of vinyl top materials, many additional colors
became available as follows, by year:
White: 1955Blue: 1955Ivory: 1955Black: 1955Tan: 1955-
Green: 1955Dark Blue: 1956Medium Blue: 1958Turquoise: 1958Gray: 1959-
Although many more colors were available in these years, unusual colors or unusual color combinations should be
documented by the owner. A turquoise top on a salmon body would require documentation, even for 1959.

APPENDIX XIII
WHEELS AND TIRES
Authenticity of wheels and tires is a very complex undertaking, as numerous combinations were available each year,
especially when considering the combintions of paint colors,
striping colors, and optional tire sizes. The information
is available to the restorer who seeks it. The following are some
guidelines for the evaluation of cars on the field.
1. When a car is fitted with tires demountable at the rim,
the spare tire(s) will be of the proper type to exchange
with the tires on the car. Some tires were pre-mounted
on rims which clamped to the wheel felloes. Spares of
such types would include the tire mounted on the rim,
but no wheel. Earlier types had tires which had to be
changed on the vehicle. Spare in this case includes
only tire and tube without wheel or rim. Completely
demountable wheels were first available with
18929 models.
2. Tires were normally provided at the factory in matched
sets of four, except for early and late model cars where
front and rear tires may have been of different treads
or width sizes. The spare(s) were often not mounted
at the factory, and may therefore be of a different
manufacturer or tread style. If more than one spare
was used, they should all match.
3. Clincher tires (and hence rims) were last used on
Buicks with the 1918 small models. Straight-sided
tires (Pearlman rims) were used on earlier large series
models in the teens.
4. Modern drop-center wheels were introduced on
1932 models.
5. Lock rings from 1926-1931 were available for all models
either painted or plated. Earlier models were available
painted only.
6. Valve stems must be metal prior to 1932, and on wood
wheels of all types after that time through 1933 models.
Wire wheels in 1932 having stem holes in the center
of the drop center position must have metal stems. In
1932, wire wheels having valve, stems exiting the corner
of the drop center may have rubber stem tubes. 1933
and later models (except 1933 wood wheels) used rubber
valve stems. Plastic valve caps were first used in 1951.
“Red Crown” caps are never acceptable.
7. WIRE WHEELS
a. Were available from 1922-1935, 1953 (Skylark
only), 1954 all but Series 40, 1955 all Series, and
none until the 1978 Riviera 75th Anniversary
model. Wire wheels must, of course, use tubes.
b. Were available in stainless wire from 1929-1932.
All Series were available in 1932through 1935.
Examples are exceedingly rare.
c. Were available in stainless wire form 1929-1932. All
Series were available in 1932, but none have been
documented to exist.
d. Non-authentic use of chrome wire spoke wheels on
models other than these must, of course, carry the
mandatory deduction.

8.
STEEL WHEELS
a. 1933-1935 Steel spoke wheels were introduced to have
the appearance, but not the problems, of wood wheels.
They were mostly painted lower body color, but not
always, and were two-tone, with a pinstripe separating
the colors at the drop center ridge. There was also a
scalloped pin-stripe reminiscent of wood wheel striping.
color were coordinated with the body color and
pin-striping.
b. 1936-1954. 1936 was than last year for steel spoke
rims. Steel wheels were painted body color of the car as
standard equipment . Stainless steel trim rings are
available as options. Pin-striping on the 1937-1954
model years had the conventional 3-stripe concentric
pattern, with the center stripe being slightly wider that
the outer.
c. 1938-1958. Optional red wheels. Dante red was used
form 1938-1951. From 1952-1958 different hues of
red, each typical of the year, were used.
d. 1959-1962. The optional wheel color was black.
e. 1963 and later. Standard wheel color was black with
standard wheel covers. With standard hubcap, and no
factory trim rings, wheel color continued to be body
color.
f. 1956 and up. Wheels delivered with standard hubcap
and no tim rings have no pinstripes.
9. TRIM RINGS AND DISCS
Trim rings were initiated in 1923 to have the appearance of
the no longer needed retaining rings. Early rings were
very narrow and pressed into the drop center. Late 1930s rings
were more elaborate. In 1948 Buick supplied full stainless trim
discs for Series 870 models and in 1949 or series 50, and 70, and
finally in 1950 for Series 50 jobs with 15” wheels only.10.
10. WHEEL COVERS AND HUBCAP
Wheels having demountable rims utilized screw-on hubcap
through 1932. When demountable wheels were introduced in
1929, trim rings or shields came into existence. these were held
in place by the screw-on hubcap, and were meant to cover the
lug nuts on demountable wood wheels. Special hubcap were also
provided for sidemounted spare tires of this type. Clip-on
hubcap were introduced with the demountable steel wheel were
issued to 1981. all closed 4-door sedans, except Estate Wagons
used spare tire hubcap from 1941-1946 and some1947 cars.
Color was black. Wire wheel covers were introduced in 1953. In
1953, Specials had a Buick emblem in the center, whereas
Supers and Roadmasters had a “V” center emblem.

13. TIRE TYPES AND SIZES.
Radial tires were first offered by Buick as an option in 1967
and beginning in 1967 they were available as an option on
all models. In situations where neither the standard nor
alternate tire size is currently being reproduced, the next closest
tire size up or down may be substituted without a deduction

APPENDIX XIV
EXTERIOR PAINT COLORS
NOTE: Color information on Nitrocellulose lacquer uses the orginal DuPont (Duco) numbers, which are now obsolete, unless a
Modern equivalent has been located. Duco code numbers are preceded with a “244-” designation, and later with a “246-” designation.
Enamels are preceded by “RP-93-”. Striping colors contain more pigment, and are designated with “289-”, but the code numbers
usually represent the same paint color, regardless of type.

NOTE: Beginning with the 1925 model year, all cars were finished in “Duco” (Nitrocellulose lacquer). Up to this time,
body finishes were applied in Japanned color varnish. The 1929 marks the first year in which color options were
available on the various models. In prior years, where more than one color was offered on a particular model, it was a
result of a color change, or several color changes in mid-season. The customer had no choice of color.

BUICK CLUB OF AMERICA
The judge should not crawl under the car when
judging the chassis. Inspection of the undercarriage may be
accomplished by kneeling at front, rear, and at strategic
points along the sides of the car to perform the necessary
observations. Flashlights and other aids are not to be used
in the BCA judging process.
1. Bumpers / Guards
Check the condition of chrome, authenticity, finish
and trim. Bumpers should show painted accents
where required. No points should be deducted for
year and model factory authorized bumperettes.
1928: First use of chrome plating.
2. Suspension / Steering
Check for correctness of steering gear, style of grease
fittings or oil cups installed, excessive amount of
lube and cleanliness. Springs and shocks must be
authentic and no helper springs may be installed or
removed. No points are to be deducted for original
factory authorized towing package if available in year
of manufacture. Check for proper grease fittings
throughout;
1920: First use of Alemite pin-type, bayonet-lock
grease fittings.
1923: First use of zerk push-type grease fittings.
Late 1933: First use of ball-end grease fittings.
1946: First use of bolts with strength marks on head.
Earlier years could have letters or numbers on head.
3. Transmission / Driveline
Check for excess oil and grease, leaks and finish of
driveline parts. Check grease fittings for proper type
and excess lube.
4. NonAuthentic Transmission / Driveline
(Mandatory deduction)
Nonauthentic transmission/overdrive is a mandatory
4 point deduction.
JUDGING THE CHASSIS
5. Frame
Check for nonauthentic modifications, condition and
correct paint color. Although not encouraged, no
points will be deducted for appropriate type under
coating applied to frame, floorpans and sheetmetal
in a workmanlike fashion on cars of the era. Check
for poor workmanship hidden by undercoating.
6. Fuel Tank
Correct size, style, appearance of finish, placement
and absence of severe dents.
7. Brakes / Cables / Lines
Correct style brakes, drums, power booster and/or
cables/rods. No points should be deducted for
stainless steel brake lines. Check for proper routing.
1924: First front (4-wheel) brakes.
1936: First hydraulic brakes.
8. Exhaust System
Check for correct size, style of muffler, resonators,
exhaust pipes, manifolds, heat risers, catalytic
converters, and headers. No points are to be deducted
for surface rust and modern high temperature coatings
which protect the system. Points should be deducted
for condition, nonauthentic cutouts and end tips.
9. Tires - Type
Check tires for correct type (radial/ bias-ply).
Radial tires were first offered as an option
in 1967 on all models. One point is deducted for
each tire which was not a factory authorized option
for model and year.
10. Tires - Size

BUICK CLUB OF AMERICA
First do a quick walk around of the car. Check each of the
components (fenders, doors, hood, etc.), the color scheme and presence
of items which should not be there, as well as absence of things which
should be there. Make a mental note of any discrepancies. If in doubt,
discuss them with your Team Captain. If necessary the Team Captain

degree to which a defect may be less than factory original
when assigning point deductions. Check for even spacing
and proper alignment around all doors, hood, windshield,
trunk, and fenders. Striping, mouldings and belt lines
should all line up.Points should be deducted if dents
or ripples are more noticeable than factory original. Use
of non-authentic material for repairs, such as body
lead or plastic, is not encouraged. However, point deduction
will be taken only if these repairs are observed without the use
of testing methods to determine their composition
2. Rocker Panels

Duties and Responsibilities of the Team Captain
The Team Captain is responsible for on-field conduct of
BCA judging policy. The Team Captain is also responsible for
the preservation and augmentation of good relations between
BCA judging and the BCA member-owners. This position is
therefore one of greatest importance to the success of the judg
ing process. The Team Captain is the leader of the judging team
and serves a liaison between that team and both the owner of
each car judged and the judging system as represented by the
BCA, the Judging Officials and this manual. He/she is respon
sible for ensuring that all judging activities are carried out in a
fair, courteous and impartial fashion and is to lead, instruct, and
guide the members of the team to that end result.
The Team Captain will arrive on the field prior to the
designated time. Initially inventory all vehicles in your class to
see that they are correctly placed on the field. Check all cars
against the roster. Notify your Deputy of any differences, and

while your team is awaiting verification of your results at
Administration. Turn them in at the Judging Administration
Office. Receive the “Judges Participation Pins” and distribute
them to the team members before releasing your team .
General Judging Policies
The most general guideline is that all Buicks are to be presented and
evaluated knowledgeably, impartially, consistently, courteously and
fairly. This critical evaluation should be an educational process for
both the restorer/owner and the judging team. A free flow of information
is encouraged for the improvement of both judge and judged. It shall be
the owner’s responsibility to document the authenticity or correctness
of any feature of his/her vehicle to the satisfaction of the judging team.
In the event of a dispute, the Head Judge and Deputies are empowered
to arbitrate a resolution. In the event that an authenticity dispute arises
over a matter as printed in this handbook, the owner’s documentation
shall be provided to the Head Judge of the meet. The Head Judge will
subsequently present the documentation for possible modification of
this handbook to the Chief Judge of the BCA if warranted by the
evidence. Acceptance (or denial) of the evidence for purposes of the
meet shall not prejudice the review of such evidence by BCA, or
its ultimate inclusion by alteration of this handbook.
Guidelines for Fairness and Consistency in Judging
A judging team should consist of a Team Captain, at least one other
judge and apprentices (optimum size for team is four). The combined
experience and knowledge of the judging team should cover extensively
all the cars in that particular class.
Each judging team should look over the entire class before starting
on that class. Judges should not touch an entry. It is imperative that
the owner or a representative be with the vehicle during the judging
process. If the owner is not present, the team moves to the next vehicle,
unless prior arrangements are made between the Team Captain and the
owner, or a notation is made on the windshield card that the owner is a
judge, specifying which class the owner is judging, and specifically
authorizing the Team Captain to open whatever accesses would be
required to facilitate judging. In this case, as an accommodation
to a fellow judge, if a major authenticity point deduction is mandated,
the Deputy Team shall be summoned to adjudicate the item of nonauthenticity and shall consult with the owner-judge if necessary in their
deliberations. If an absent owner is located before the judging is completed in that class, then his or her vehicle should be judged; otherwise,
it shall not be judged.
Keep in mind that the vehicles you will be judging are production
vehicles that came off an assembly line. The judging standard in any
particular area should rate how this vehicle compares to the
original factory product. If any judged item is as good as original it
should receive no deductions in that category. Of course, if a better
quality of workmanship is found and the vehicle has not been modified
in any way from original, then it still receives no deductions. All parts
should be as original, factory replacement or dealer option equipment as
defined elsewhere in this judging handbook. As an example, painted
items should be painted only in correct colors and only originally plated
items should be plated and with the correct type of plating.
Every judge should keep in mind that he or she is judging each
vehicle individually on its own merit. A vehicle starts out with
the maximum number of points allowed in each category. Points are
then deducted according to the severity of the defect. If a vehicle meets
all standard requirements for factory new condition, then the judge
should not deduct points just because the last vehicle judged had
a million dollar paint job and this one has a factory issue paint job. Both
vehicles have met or exceeded the original quality requirements for full
points. Do not deduct fractional points.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SAFETY GLASS
The car should not be judged if an operational UL approved fire
extinguisher is not displayed. A restored car shall not be judged if it
does not have safety glass in the windshield.
