This listing isfor an original 1963 Indianapolis 500 Race day Program! The 47th International 500-Mile Sweepstakes was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana on Thursday, May 30, 1963. Rufus Parnelli Jones took his only Indy 500 win. This win was controversial because his car (nicknamed "Calhoun") spewed oil from a cracked overflow tank for many laps, which allegedly caused at least one driver to spin and crash. USAC officials put off black-flagging Jones after car owner J. C. Agajanian ran down pit lane and convinced them that the oil leak was below the level of a known crack and would not leak anyfurther. Lotus owner Colin Chapman, whose English-built, rear-engined Lotus-Ford finished second in the hands of Scotsman Jim Clark, accused USAC officials of being biased in favor of the American driver and car. This program is in fair shape but does have some stains on the covers, and minor wear and marks on the cover (See Photos).  The inside pages are pretty clean with minor wear from being 60+ years old. I would say an 5 out of 10, but that's just my opinion. Please check photos so you can judge.  Not only does this program have great information and photos of the drivers it also has some great ads. Some of the full page advertisements include Coca Cola, Buick, Ford, Chevy, Studebaker, Oil and Gas Ads and many more. This is really a cool piece of Indy 500 race history. The program was owned and protected for many years by a longtime race fan and collector. This is your chance to own this legendary Indy 500 race program before its gone. Also please check out the photos before buying, I use them to describe the condition. Plus let us know if you have any additional questions. Plus, we will combine shipping cost on multiple programs!
