Original Savannah Metal Sign - 12" x 18"

This artwork recreates a vintage racing poster for the Grand Prize of the Automobile Club of America, with bold hand-lettered typography above a dramatic early road racing scene. The lower panel reads 400 Mile International Road Race Savannah GA. Nov. 26 1908, anchoring the image in the early days of American automobile competition. A low, open race car cuts across the foreground with two goggled occupants, while a sweeping pale plume, warm orange ground, palm fronds, and a sunset sky give the composition speed and heat. The style feels like period motorsport advertising: expressive lettering, painterly color, and a high-energy view of a machine being pushed hard.

For collectors of vintage automotive metal signs, the appeal is in the mix of race typography and vivid illustration. The large words Grand Prize and Automobile Club dominate the top field, while Savannah and the 1908 date sit in a separate bottom panel like an event placard. It has the look of vintage automotive wall art without trying to modernize the original race poster character. It would sit naturally among metal car signs for garage walls, especially in a space built around early racing, Americana, or prewar automotive history.
