The 1955 Italian Grand Prix was run at the famous banked Monza circuit and won by Juan Manuel Fangio for Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes entered four cars for the race: two W196 Streamline cars for Fangio (No.18) and Moss (No. 16) seen below, and two standard W196 cars for Taruffi and Kling. "Three Pointed Star" by Greg McNeill Fangio won the race from pole position. Moss, who started in second place, retired on lap 27 with engine trouble. The wonderful 'pop art' rendition of that famous race is by Australian artist Greg McNeill and is available, along with others, as a print from our gallery .
