MCACN EXCLUSIVE
VINTAGE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM THRIVES
There are many different aspects of the Muscle Car and
Corvette Nationals show. We refer to some of them, like
the Muscle Bicycles area, as a “show within a show” as
they highlight a very specific segment of our hobby. One
of the most popular and educational is our Vintage
Certification area, Sponsored by
Frank Badalsons
American Performance, LLC.
The Vintage Certification area focuses on Preservation
instead of Restoration. Led by MCACN Member Steve
Shauger, a team of highly recognized marque authorities
pore over every square inch inside, outside, and
underneath of the subject vehicles. The program focuses
on unrestored cars and provides status, recognition,
provenance and appreciation for these rare vehicles. Our
certification team provides each owner with a
comprehensive listing of findings in a full detailed
report. The ultimate goal is to uncover new information,
share it with the participant and act as a repository
for factory standards and processes. Each of the cars
are inspected on the ground and then on a lift, supplied
by the MCACN Official Lift Company,
Titan Lifts. If you
want to learn about how these cars really were built
back in the day, this is the place!

This year we will be expanding the display area for our
Vintage Certification program. Moving Vintage
Certification to the ballroom, previously used as
our awards, seminar and band area, will allow greater
access for our spectators. Although the cars are stanchioned, they will be placed in a way that will
allow expanded viewing. You will also be able to better
see exactly how our team inspects the vehicles,
especially when they are up in the air on the
Titan
Lifts.
In the new issue of Muscle Car Review magazine, you will
see an awesome full feature devoted to our Vintage
program, and the 2015 participants. Editor Drew Hardin
did a great job telling the stories of some of the cars
and also shot some great pictures. As you can imagine,
each and every one of these cars has amazing history!
Check out the
online version of the feature.

Muscle Car
