MVPA’s Judging Guide
Mission: To encourage the preservation and restoration of military vehicles of all eras and origins.
Purpose: To reward excellence in military vehicle preservation and restoration.
Vehicle Judging:
Vehicles must have been owned, used or tested by a military to be entered into judging. No replica vehicles or vehicles that were not used, owned or tested by a military will be allowed to be entered in judging. Replica military vehicles are welcomed to be Display Only vehicles at MVPA events.
Vehicles are judged against a standard and not against each other. It is the restoration of the vehicle and not the type of vehicle that is being judged.
Judged vehicles must obtain a certain percent of the total points to place, therefore being the only vehicle in a class is not an automatic win.
It is the entrant’s responsibility to verify the restoration of the vehicle, and if applicable document any variation from accepted standards. Example: A GPW marked as a Korean conflict vehicle may be accepted into the Motor Pool Class if the owner shows that a like vehicle was in use by the military during that time period.
The Running Test must be performed prior to a vehicle entering the convention venue. This test is the responsibility of the host Affiliate and will be supervised by the Chief Judge. A minimum 70% score is required to move on in the judging process. A vehicle that does not pass the Running Test may be resubmitted within the testing time frame, after repairs have been completed. The Running Judge will initial the top of the judging form to verify the Running Test is completed. This test is not required for non-motorized vehicles.
Judging Classes:
Restored Class:This class is for vehicles that are restored to the “like new” appearance, either as it left the factory or as it was when issued for service. Vehicles must be at least 20 years old to be entered in the Restored Class.
