Concourse judging with Luggage question

Good grief lol

G

 

Luggage was a Factory Option so never on a Dealership wndow sticker.
It was ordered from Schedoni.

The car is being judged, so maybe a FCA Judge will chime in, but given the value, I would never leave the set on display with the car.
Good luck!

Have fun...

 

I am not a judge but I have had my car judged at Concorso Italiano by the Ferrari Club of America.

I would expect that the luggage set will only be of incidental interest to the judges and will not enter their technical assessment of the car. Having the luggage set present will do no harm but will not quantitatively bolster the car either.

As much as the judges deny it, there is a subjective element to their judging. An owner who is enthusiastic and can account for all details of their car has an effect. The luggage set can be an interesting incidental that allows you to demonstrate your knowledge and enthusiasm.

 

My car has been entered into Cavallino for years and is the recipient of 13 platinum awards. The judges look at the car by itself and I have never had any judge ask me for the window sticker as I do have the original sticker and not the luggage. As far as the luggage is concerned, participants will display the luggage in front of the car with or without the dust covers just as part of an exhibition of the car. Just enjoy the show and view Cavallino as an opportunity to learn and improve upon the condition of your car as well as meet with other owners. Good luck!

 

IAC/PFA judge here.

We do not judge luggage nor the presence (or not) of luggage. Sure looks nice though.

Same for window sticker.

 

I'd display the luggage with the yellow protection bags pulled all the way down, but with the pieces of luggage still on top of it.

 

Doesn't that wrinkle the bags?

 

Gerald Rouse used to complain (well, he complained about a lot of things...) about judging late-model Ferraris. How are you supposed to judge them? Who does the best detailing job? All he did was take points off for any non-factory items such as PPF.

 

Well stated. And, pay no attention to those who like to ridicule concours d’elegance. It’s a noble endeavor for those who preserve or restore great cars with a dedication to extreme detail. As time goes on, the community will be thankful that a few dedicated the time and expense. Enjoy the experience. It’s a lot of fun.

 

Michael knows what he’s talking about.
