it means different things to different people....the last part of your description is closer to the accepted definiton....it can also mean over restored. generally the maintenance factor doesn't come into play....they want everything to be near perfect, correct and very clean.

"Concourse" condition may mean that it's sat on the tarmac at O'Hare between the H and K concourse for the past decade. 
:
"Concours" condition usually means that the car is over-restored to Pebble Beach quality standards. Perfect mirror finish paint and chrome, tight and uniform body gaps, and not a spec of dust or dirt anywhere on the car.

We had two classes one original and one modified. The original line had to look like it just came off the assembly line and the other line had to perfect.The only dirt allowed anywhere was the dirt you picked up driving across the parking lot. Yesterdays dirt was a big deduction. Oil and grease on a motor or tranny got you a trip out of the tent.
It's a lot of work but it feels real good when you collect an award at the end.
