• All accessories must be of the type and period offered by the manufacturer or dealer at the time of original purchase.
• Safety items, i.e. seat belts, safety glass or turn signals will not be factored against any automobile when considering originality, as long as these items are installed in a tasteful manner.

Best Stock Original

The Nugget Stock Competition for Best Stock Original is for any automobile that has been maintained in the condition it was when assembled by the factory.

• All components of the automobile should be the same as they were when the automobile was manufactured and delivered new. The exception will be components that have deteriorated with use or age to the point that they will no longer provide safe or satisfactory service, i.e. tires, belts, hoses, batteries and other wear items.
• Any repair, refurbishing or restoration will detract from the automobile’s originality, except for those repairs which are necessary to maintain the safe and proper operation of the automobile.
• Safety items, i.e. seat belts, safety glass or turn signals, will not be factored against any automobile when considering originality, as long as those items are installed in a tasteful manner.
