Description
1955 Juan Manuel Fangio framed signed photo.
This is a large 24×32″ / 61x81cm black and white reprint of Bernard Cahier’s photo of Fangio in the #19 Mercedes 300SLR at the 1955 Le Mans. This race was historically significant as Pierre Levegh’s #20 300 SLR crashed and tragically killed several spectators, which made Mercedes retire from motor racing until 1989.
A small batch of these were signed in 1994 in Buenos Aires at Fangio’s office. Fangio’s signature is bold and in black marker.
We have one last one that is tastefully framed as showing.
Included is a photo of Fangio signing it, and our lifetime certificate.
