Just a comment regarding AACA Grand National judging criteria. The cars are judged based on the options that were available from the factory and/or dealer as new cars. For seldom seen rare options, participants may be asked to show verification that optional equipment was available. I had to do that for the liquid tire chain option on my 69 Camaro. The validity of option combinations (such as with this car)is more difficult for judges to question. Grand National events included cars built from from pre 1900 to 1998. So, getting this far into the weeds for every car in every generation would be impossible. Heck - it’s sometimes difficult to get agreement from the experts on this forum regarding a very narrow window of cars.
AACA Grand National shows are pretty special if you’re a car enthusiast. Even regional shows like AACA Gettysburg this past weekend bring out some incredible cars. There was a MB gullwing sitting across from my car that the owner drove (not trailered) 200+ miles to the event on Saturday. Overall, great cars & great people IMO.
