This poster is a modern commemorative artwork celebrating the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, depicting the Ford GT40 Mk II #5—the gold Holman‑Moody entry driven by Ronnie Bucknum and Dick Hutcherson, which finished third in Ford’s historic 1‑2‑3 sweep. Its bold magenta title block, contemporary typography, and stylized composition make clear that it isn’t an original 1960s event poster but a later collector print created to evoke the drama of Ford’s breakthrough victory over Ferrari, using the distinctive livery and trackside Shell signage to anchor it in that legendary moment in endurance‑racing history.Collection
