Not to diminish your win but I've never understood why a totally stock car should receive any trophy at a car show
But that's me....

1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe
The Camaro goes for over $1 million, the Ferrari goes for over $10 million (only 36 built) and the Bugatti is estimated to be worth $19 million (only 6 built). But they shouldn't win a trophy because they are not customized?
But these customized cars are potential trophy winners?
Not every car show is a custom and/or hot rod show.
Now for some classic custom rides (from George Barris).

Yours is a false analogy as you've presented fully restored classics and that is NOT the same as a totally stock, albeit, new car.
I don't care if we're talking a brand new $500K McLaren or a $20K Chevy Cruze that was just picked up at the dealer that morning. A totally stock car simply doesn't deserve a win at the average show & shine. Especially when compared to that cherry, fully restored '69 Camaro
YMMV
(flame away...)
