what makes a car a "SURVIVER" ?

Bloomington Gold coined this term as applied to show cars. They were trying to discourage the restoration of nice Corvettes, and created the "Survivor" class. There is plenty of documentation as to what constitutes a survivor as Bloomington dictates. I don't remember the specifics, but as Mac Daddy states, there are specific percentages.

These are my favorite kinds of cars. Any original old car is cool with me.
