At 16 inches tall, the trophy is solid bronze and produced by the American Fine Arts Foundry, where 10 craftspeople use heat and cupric acid to give the statuettes their green patina each year.

At this year's 64th annual show, which took place last weekend, a beautiful burgundy 1927 Track T Roadster owned by John Mumford took home the nine-foot tall trophy as well as a check for $10,000.
