Santa Monica Road Race Vintage Metal Car Sign - 16" x 24"

The artwork reproduced here presents a retro racing poster for the Santa Monica Road Race, with a bright red early race car sweeping across a coastal scene. A driver in dark goggles sits low in the cockpit, while the car's oversized wheels, black number 8 tail section, and dusty road surface give the image a strong sense of motion. Palm fronds frame the upper left, blue ocean and distant shoreline fill the background, and small sailboats sit beyond the surf. Below the illustration, bold red block lettering reads Santa Monica Road Race May 4 1912, with smaller lines referencing A.M. Young, Los Angeles, A.A.A., and sanction number 422. The composition has the crisp drama of vintage advertising and early motorsport poster art, giving the piece a period racing character.
