The first Judging Manual was developed in February of 1986, at the request of the CCCA membership and Board of Directors, to upgrade the quality of our overall judging performance and to render a greater opportunity for CCCA members to participate in the judging procedure.

Over the years, the show and classification rules in this manual have been refined to encompass every aspect of the auto show sport.

The ISCA ensures that all producers conduct events within the rules established for the betterment of the sport.
