Description
1926-1955 Le Mans ACO Sign.
This is the one of the original medallions which hung on the paddock walls and offices at Le Mans between 1926 and 1955. This the smaller version of the round sign (the other is 25.5″), and the aluminum medallion measures 16″ wide (40 cm) and weighs about 3 lbs. It is in fine original condition with a lovely patina. There are countless photos of the larger versions in the official LM book ’24 Heures Du Mans 1923-1992′ (book 1 published by the ACO), including the ones showing here from 1953 & 1954 Le Mans.
