I was fortunate enough to win my catagory last year in the concours and was this year invited to opt out of the show and shine for the Best of Ford Fair stand. After investigation I was told the concours was removed due to complaints and deminishing numbers.
However, I believe concours will be brought back next year as show and shine really doesn't work for such a vast variety of Fords.
Would be interested in knowing which cars won what though ?
As for cleaning the cars to concours, its more than a passion for owning a mint car, its a medical condition.
