The Chrysler Cup

The Chrysler Cup was given to the club by Chrysler Corporation in 1977. It is the highest award we have; it is our "best of show". In the last 50 years, the cup has been awarded only sixteen times.

It is a perpetual trophy -- it is passed from the previous winner to the next. Each winner has their name recorded on the base. According to the original rules, the cup would be awarded if the car won a first and scored over 900 points in two concours outings. In recent years we relaxed the requirement for two concours outings.

The Chrysler Cup was first awarded to Don Warnaar at the Fall Meet in Ann Arbor, MI of 1977. Randy Guyer was the last winner with his black F convertible at the 2019 Minnesota meet. In 2022 Gil Cunningham passed away and in recognition of his life long contributions to the club, we renamed it the Cunningham Cup.
