Dave:

If its judged it becomes a Concours, or a Concours-lite.  What's the 
point?  The car display is just a place for everyone to "display" their 
cars - trophys and prizes are just incidental, and only have value for 
comic bragging rights.

You want a "car show" enter Concours and compete.  You want to display 
without hours of preparation then display.

Works for me.   :)
