The Cobble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance is limited to a select\ngroup of invited vehicles with unique historical significance specifically\nchosen to tell a thoughtfully-scripted story. The vehicles are judged by class\nbased on their elegance and authenticity. There are a variety of awards\nincluding class awards and 14 special awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The judges used a 100 point deduction system which is divided into categories that include body and paint finish, bright work, engine compartment detail, upholstery, chassis finish, window glass, etc. Each area is examined for the correct components as well as the proper installation and finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The selection of the winners in each class is determined by how accurate and well presented each vehicle is. When the judging process has been concluded, each judge will have a discretionary additional three points to add to their final score. These points may be added to the vehicles final score based on the judge\u2019s interpretation of Elegance, Significance or the Presence of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Cobble Beach judging process has been accredited by\nInternational Chief Judges Advisory Group. The ICJAG is now considered as the\njudging authority in both North America and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
