1957 Luigi Musso signed Ferrari Postcard!
A GREAT item of this gentleman-driver who died at the wheel of his Ferrari Dino 246 while battling it out with his team mate Mike Hawthorn in the opening stages of the 1958 French Grand Prix at Reims race track.
This is an official Ferrari factory issued postcard (issued in 1957) which is already VERY scarce by itself (and hence expensive!) but it is also signed by "Luigino" himself in blue biro making it a prime collector's item!
At some point in time this card has been stuck in an album from which it has been removed and it has some damage to the rear from the glue unfortunately which is visible in the scan.
TRUELY UNIQUE!
Only 1 available as every autographed item is of course unique.
A Certificate of Authenticity will be provided with this item that guarantees you that the signature is genuine or we give you your money back.

This poster is part of the so-called "Major Illustrators" era in Le Mans posters which lasted from 1954 - 1963 and in which the cream of the crop of French motorsport illustrators such as Geo Ham, Jeudon and Beligond were hired for the design of the race posters.
The 1957 poster was after a color illustration from the hand of Jeudon. The change of illustrator from Geo Ham to Jeudon led to a radically different style. The more modern illustration retains one of the main symbols of the mythic care - the night. The cars have been reduced to blibs on a radar screen.
The race was won by Ron Flockhart and Ivor Bueb in their Jaguar D-Type (S/N XKD606) with a total of 327 laps to their name. In fact, the first 4 places went to Jaguar with their D-Types...
