NCRS Bowtie award in 2011. NCRS National Top Flight scoring 98.6.
NCRS Bowtie Awards are earned only at National Conventions by un-restored cars successfully judged and voted
to be historically and educationally significant in any one or more of four areas (Interior, Exterior, Mechanical, and
Chassis). The award is intended to recognize the car and encourage the owner to retain and display the car in its
present condition for the enjoyment and continuing educational benefit of our membership. NCRS One-, Two- or
Three-Star Awards are achieved by a successful judging and voting in any one, two or three of the four listed
areas. The NCRS Chevrolet Bowtie Award is achieved by a successful judging and voting in all four areas.
Subsequent to this judging, the NCRS Chevrolet 5-Star Bowtie Award may be achieved as described in item #12
of the NCRS Judging Reference Manual. Only 372 Corvettes have received this prestigious award.
