HISTORIC CAR ART

Visit Historic Car Art at RETROMOBILE 1-5 February 2012 Porte de Versailles, Paris. Hall 3 near the Peter Mullin Collection. We will be showing work by Barry Rowe AFAS, John Ketchell, Roy Putt, Andrew McGeachy and Rob Ijbema along with a selection of vintage posters.

This lovely poster arrived at our gallery this week. Great image for this French race using only the colours of the Tricolor, oh and black... This was a Formula 3 race and was held at  Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry just outside Paris. The race was won by Briton Charles Crichton-Stuart driving a Brabham BT-10 entered by Stirling Moss Auto Racing Team (S.M.A.R.T. ?? :-))...

Wow! What a way to advertise your brand of headlights. They certainly knew how to get your attention in those days. Ummm... I know let's stick a huge headlight on top of the Arch de Triomphe and having it glaring out across Paris! Fantastic. This poster dates from sometime in the late 20's to early 30's and is in perfect condition, the colours are fabulous. It's a good size too at 120 x 80cm. If you want some great Art Deco advertising art for your wall then look no further!
