Any Questions please call: Howard, 352-304-9063 Do you have an historic car that could qualify for an HPOF Badge? “Yes, a 1939 Mercury 4 Door Sedan” Historic Preservation of Original Features (HPOF) is a very special evaluated, not judged, class for historic vehicles which are still unchanged from the way they were received from the factory by the dealer. These are exceedingly important to a restorer working on an incomplete or much modified vehicle, particularly on rare makes or models which are poorly documented in the literature. The small details are often what separate accurate restorations from the drivers. In the case of the author’s 1914 Model T Ford, none of the many pictures available showed the correct wiring harness clip or routing for the sole electrical harness or the hose routing for the gas headlamps. Only when a famous HPOF Model T (Miss Vickery) was viewed at Hershey, were these details found. That HPOF badge means a lot! But, you say, my car is all original. The previous owner told me so! The word “original” means many things to different people. Does your car have all the original windows from the factory or have they been changed? Is the paint from the factory or have you repainted the car or parts of it? Is the upholstery from the factory, even if worn? The team is not evaluating condition of these items, just if they are unchanged from the day they left the factory. If unchanged, they are the valuable reference point. If redone, it’s a beautiful restoration. The HPOF Team consists of experienced AACA judges having 50 or more credits, who have taken the HPOF CJE (Continuing Judges Education) course and who agree to judge the HPOF class at each meet they attend. The team reports to the Chairman HPOF Committee (Luther Dundore from Pa.) and is approved by the VP Class Judging. Their job is to evaluate the vehicle which must be a minimum of 65% from the factory original to be certified and wear the HPOF badge. The forms used can be found in the official AACA Judging Manual. While the bulk of the cars entered in this class meet the “From the Factory” standard, there are problems certifying old restorations from the 1960’s which now have faded and aged parts and may now look factory original at a first glance, new paint jobs on bodies and engines, radial tires where not originally equipped and partial restorations which destroy the value of the vehicle as a “restoration reference”. While nice to look at, many of these vehicles belong in Class Judging or Driver Participation Classes.
