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 2005 BCA JUDGING HANDBOOK 7TH EDITION 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 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 of the BCA. 2 Candidate must be committed to being unbiased, honest and open minded. 3. Candidate must exhibit a desire to learn and critically evaluate new evidence as exhibited or presented. 4. Candidate must demonstrate willingness and effort to become expert and knowledgeable in the area to be judged. 5. Candidate must be courteous and considerate of owners and team members, even if provoked. 2005 BCA JUDGING HANDBOOK 7TH EDITION 6. 7. 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. 3 I. 1. 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 Captain. f. Judge quietly and in the utmost businesslike manner. g. Direct any and all questions to the Team Captain. Do not engage in conversation with the owner of the car being judged. h. Deliver the results of your judging to the Team Captain for entry on the judging form before moving to the next car. Be sure this transfer of point totals, 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.

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 6 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 28 2005 BCA JUDGING HANDBOOK 7TH EDITION 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. 2005 BCA JUDGING HANDBOOK 7TH EDITION 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. 29 11.

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.

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. 2005 BCA JUDGING HANDBOOK 7TH EDITION 35 Year Model Code Upper Body Color Lower Code Body Color 1925 25-20.21.25.26.Xport Brewster Green 1925 25-24,24A,25,25A,Xport Brewster Green 1925 25-24,24A,25,25A,Xport Black 1925 25-24S,25S,Xport Buick Gray 1925 25-26S, Xport Buick Gray 1925 25-27,28,40,44,Xport Cobalt Blue 1925 25-44,44A,45,45A,Xport Black 1925 25-44,44A,45,45A,Xport Black 1925 25-44,44A,45,45A,Xport Cobalt Blue 1925 25-27,28,Xport Cobalt Blue 1925 25-47,48,49,49A,50,50L,Xport Limousine Blue 1925 25-49,49A,Xport Limousine Blue 1925 25-51,54C,55,Xport Sagebrush Green 1925 25-51,54C,Xport Buckingham Gray 1925 25-57,Xport Optional 1926 26-20,24,25,26,27,28,Xport Buick Gray 1926 26-20,26,27,28,40,47,Xport Cobalt Blue 1926 26-40,44,45,47,Xport Buckingham Gray 1926 26-48,50,Xport Lotus Blue 1926 26-51,54,54C,55,Xport Texas Brown,duotone 1926 26-54,55,Xport Ching Blue 30360 Bambalina Blue 1927 27-20,26,27,28,Xport Washington Blue,dk 1927 27-20,26,27,28,Xport Wash.

Rev. 2-9 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 instruct owners if they must move. The Team Captain shall obtain from the owner the com pleted 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. 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 include opertional 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 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.
