  Gold Cup and Gold Medallion Car Show:

     * As is tradition with the ZCCA, those vehicles awarded the ZCCA Gold Cup or ZCCA Gold Medallion from

        past conventions are not eligible to compete in future events against other "Judged Car Show" entrants.

     * However, the ZCCA recognizes that bringing a Gold level car to the convention should have some

        benefits.  For 2012, the convention committee has agreed to honor these vehicles with a display area, a

        special award and a "Best Survivor" category on the People's Choice voting ballot.

     * Awards will be presented Saturday at the Closing Banquet.
