What was highest prize ever awarded to a standard American car?

in the 1920s, it was winning the Grand Prix plus the Cup of Honor at Monte Carlo.

So says Cord, and I'll take their word for it.


This prize was won in competition with more than 50 of the world’s finest custom built automobiles as well as other standard cars. The Cord was strictly a production car and was bought from a New York dealer by a resident of New York who shipped the car to Monte Carlo and entered it there.


What is the highest prize awarded to a car now, 100 years later? The Motor Trend Car of the Year? I don't know what else it could be.
