"...It won......." can be a misnomer as there are a number of classes a car can be shown in. Most people automatically think "it won" means the Grand National trophy car, but an owner can honestly claim "it won" if he/she won one of the "lesser" classes........though I suspect the less scrupulous will not correct the misinterpretation.

Here's a good listing of nearly all of the outcomes per year if you want to do some research: http://www.kustomrama.com/index.php?..._Roadster_Show
