• This is for a member of the press, radio or TV, I believe to place in the window of their vehicle, while attending the 1959 Indianapolis 500.  I am not 100% sure this is the purpose, I have not been able to find another one or similar. 
  • This belonged to a family member and he attended the Indianapolis 500 as an employee of an Indianapolis television station, WLWI, channel 13 (now known as WTHR). 
  • 1959 was the 43rd running of the International 500-Mile Sweepstakes held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 30, 1959.  
  • Roger Ward was the first place winner in 1959, and he won 1st place again in 1962. 
  • Thin glossy paper.  Paper has wear, creases, light soiling & fading.  No holes or tears. 
  • Dimensions - 4 1/2" x 8" or 11.4 cm x 20.3 cm
  • Age - 63 years. 
  • Overall, this rare piece of Indianapolis 500 memorabilia appears in good condition.
