Santa Monica Road Race California Metal Sign - 12" x 18"

This artwork reproduces a bold vintage racing poster centered on a bright red open-wheel race car along a coastal road. The scene pairs ocean blue water, white surf, distant sailboats, and dark palm fronds with warm sand tones, giving the artwork a Southern California racing atmosphere. Large red block lettering announces "Santa Monica Road Race" with the date "May 4 1912", creating the look of early motorsport advertising.

The composition has the energy of a period racing poster, with the car angled forward and the oversized typography anchoring the lower half of the artwork. It works especially well for collectors who like prewar racing imagery and garage art with a historic road race theme. The colors are vivid without feeling modernized, keeping the focus on the illustrated car, coastal setting, and event-poster layout.
