History Chuck Griffith - Pomona Racer's Estate Items

Greetings
I bought a number of vintage racing items from the Chuck Griffith estate including and original timing card from the Pomona Valley Timing Association Dragster from 1954 and a picture of the car and a couple period Car Club plaques (card visible in photo - 1954 Petersen Motorama). I have pictures of the items in his house prior to the original auction.

Got a 50's PVTA trophy and a big Award Of Excellence trophy from the "1965 National Custom Auto Fair - Los Angeles - First in Class". The Auto Fair took place during the 1965 Pomona Winternationals. Does anybody have any Idea what Car he got the award for?

The 65 Winternational program mentions the Auto Fair but copies are going for lots of money. Wondering if there was any mention of Chuck in the Program.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Is this the same Chuck Griffith that ran the Starlite Fuel Dragster in the ‘60’s?
