This paragraph certainly gets directly to the issue we are dealing with. We are to promote the AUTHENTIC restoration of Plymouths and Fargo vehicles. That means we need to judge these cars against a standard of a factory shipped car. Original Plymouths did not come from the factory with modern modifications. Changes made due to state safety requirements are acceptable, such as safety glass, seat belts and turn signals. If any vehicle has been modified in such a way as to obviously alter horse power, and components to include; rear end, transmission, suspension, electrical system, sheet metal, such as a street rod, it shall be ineligible for judging.
