Bloomington Gold Survivor Collector Car

This year, Bloomington Gold held a judged Survivor car show open to all makes of unrestored cars. The highest award available for a non-Corvette is the ZZenith™ - only cars older than forty years old with refinishing, damage and deterioration from factory not exceeding 10% are eligible. According to Bloomington Gold, a ZZenith award certifies that "the level of preservation (originality and condition) is extraordinarily high and highly unlikely among most unrestored original automobiles of this vintage." McKeel Hagerty, Jonathan Stein and Rob Sass all participated as judges on the ZZenith certification board and thirteen cars achieved ZZenith status in the inaugural judged event.

This is neat, I get tired of cars restored to a degree that they are "better" then they were the day they rolled off the showroom floor. I have an old 40 Pontiac businessman's coupe that outside of a repaint and looks like crome work to me, it's stock, still have the original seat covers even. It's a flat six model, and with 70K miles on it drives about like a half wore out car. It could use some steering parts, and the engine uses a little oil, but for puttin around town she's just fine.

to all those "cash for klunkers" beings: don'n deprive all those interested in automotive history of the enjoyment of the gems you blindly sacrifice for no real purpose, not even for environamental reasons, or is the hate and indifference in all of you so strong? Think...
