HOW THEY PICK THE WINNERS; Just what are those concours judges looking for?
Byline: MARK VAUGHN
What do they look for, those guys in the Brooks Brothers blazers, bow ties and boaters who walk through the field at a concours and pick the winners? What are they marking down on those clipboards? And do they really take away points for grass clippings in the tire treads?
To find out, we asked the best in the business.
"You have to be familiar with your subject,'' said Glenn Mounger, former co-chair at Pebble Beach, now head of the honorary judges there.
Like most of the best judges, Mounger would learn as much as he could about the cars he was going to judge before he ever got to the concours. Still, he realized there was more to it than that.
"You have to be open to things you may not know; if there's a point of authenticity and the entrant has supporting documentation, you have to be open to considering that.''
"The condition and authenticity of the car is one of the first hurdles, the stuff like period-correct hose clamps and screws,'' said Pebble Beach chief class judge Winston Goodfellow.
