While the majority of AACA\u2019s National events this year have been canceled or moved to next year\u2019s calendar, AACA felt that with the right health and safety precautions in place and the right location to allow proper social distancing this event could be a success. The Wyndham Gettysburg property allowed 484 cars to be spread out over 8 different outdoor show fields permitting plenty of space for social distancing. Extra wide spots were allotted for each car in the show expanding the social distancing measures. Additional safety precautions taken included temperature checks, mask-wearing and numerous sanitation stations located throughout the property. The awards ceremony was even held outdoors among the show fields.<\/p>\n<p>The Zenith award is presented to the finest restored vehicle shown at a National AACA event in the previous year. This year\u2019s winner was chosen from the more than 2,800 cars, trucks and motorcycles shown across the U.S. during 2019. Two Zenith Award contenders were nominated from each 2019 AACA Nationals show by the AACA National Awards judging team. The 10 special hand-picked vehicles arrived in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, that Friday for the fourth annual Zenith Awards in the quest to be dubbed \u201cRestoration of the Year.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_691883\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-691883\" style=\"width: 1059px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gettysburg2020_overview-e1598734527618.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-691883\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gettysburg2020_overview-e1598734527618.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1059\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gettysburg2020_overview-e1598734527618.jpg 1059w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gettysburg2020_overview-e1598734527618-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gettysburg2020_overview-e1598734527618-1024x504.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gettysburg2020_overview-e1598734527618-100x49.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gettysburg2020_overview-e1598734527618-770x379.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gettysburg2020_overview-e1598734527618-293x144.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1059px) 100vw, 1059px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-691883\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Overview of the 2020 Gettysburg show field.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A team of AACA Senior Master Judges along with four industry guest judges spent a day evaluating all the vehicles for accuracy, precision and authenticity of restoration.
