This is a vintage 1953 photo of Argentinian racing driver Onofre Marimon (1923 - 1954) most probably at the Buenos Aires "Autodromo 17 de Octubre" (after the fall of Juan Peron renamed to Autodromo Oscar Afredo Galvez) posing with a Ferrari 375 (Froilan Gonzales his car?).

The front carries a handwritten note which we have decyphered as follows: "Onofre Marimon - Daniel Pericoli y Fernandez - Coche Ferrari - Autodromo Febrero 1e 1953".

The rear reads: Febrero 1e de 1953 - Onofre Marimon - Coche Ferrari con que participo. En xxxxx de Daniel Pericoli y Fernandez".

Marimon was a protégée of Froilan Gonzalez and Gonzales participated with a Ferrari in the Formula Libre championships that were run in South America in 1951, 1952 & 1953 and we believe that it is this car that is shown in this picture.

A great period photo of the man who would die a mere year later at the Nurburgring.

The photo measures some 15 x 10 cm or 6 x 4 inches, is in good condition but has a sharp, diagonal, crease which is visible in the scan.

The back carries the photographer's stamp.

Only 1 (one) available.
