1955 Pebble Beach Road Race Print Phil Hill Checkered Flag Ferrari 750 Monza
Beautiful printing of a fine-art quality photograph of Phil Hill taking the Pebble Beach Road Race checkered flag in a Ferrari 750 Monza. SEE ADDITIONAL PHOTO BELOW, which shows the larger page view.
THE PHOTO SUBJECT: Phil Hill takes the Pebble Beach checkered flag, 1955
The road races were run on a road circuit through the normally tranquil streets of Pebble Beach. The races, sponsored by the Sports Car Club of America, were run through 1956. High speeds and a series of wrecks forced the races to move to Laguna Seca in 1957. Building on successes like this win, Phil Hill would become one of the most storied American race drivers, with a Formula One driver's championship; three wins each at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, 12 hours of Sebring, and the Argentine 1000 Km; two checkered flags at the Italian Grand Prix, and one at the Belgian Grand Prix.
ABOUT THE PRINT
Printed with fine attention to detail in Pebble Beach Heritage Collection, by Neal Hotelling and Matthew Vree (Pebble Beach Company, 2006). The 100 images presented in this fine art book represent the heritage and history of this famed place. They were selected from a negative file of thousands of photographs taken by official Pebble Beach Company photographers including, notably, Julian P. Graham and William C. Brooks. These and other images are available as fine art photographs through the Images of Pebble Beach art gallery. As you might imagine, gallery patrons are often hard-pressed to select just one or two photographs to take home. The Pebble Beach Heritage Collection makes 100 of these fabulous, historical images available to enjoy again and again.
The book is out of print. New or excellent condition copies cost $300 and up, and are becoming exceedingly hard to find. At the gallery, selected photographs from this collection run $100-$130.
The images in the Pebble Beach Heritage Collection were carefully printed to bring out the real look of the original black-and-white photographs. These so beautifully printed that they are suitable for framing. We occasionally get in a copy that is damaged, has a weak binding, or has a few pieces already cut out. Since the books are not suitable for sale to our fine art customers, we make the individual prints available.
This print is suitable for framing, and beautifully printed in this fine art book. In gorgeous, near mint condition. Clean and crisp. Measures approximately 8 5/8" x 11 3/4".
