Putting out some feelers for interest on a unique collectible I will be selling or auctioning.
In 2008 my Dad and our friend Bob attended the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance to show a clients vehicle.
Parnelli Jones was the honoree and they had a display of many of his race cars, including Big Oly, on the fairway.
As many of you probably know, this is one if the 3 most prestigious car shows in the country. Pebble Beach and the Concours d’Elegance of America (formerly known as Meadowbrook) are the other two.
My Dad spoke with Parnelli and told him he was a Bronco guy and that we'd meet him 2 years prior at the Bronco 40th event in Victorville, CA. Parnelli leaned over and said that the Bronco event was a lot more fun than hanging out with a lot of the stiffs there. LOL
Anyway, our friend Bob is friends with the man behind the show and he sent us several of the promotional event posters. I asked my friend Todd Zuercher if he could get Parnelli to sign some for us since Todd had been the one who got Parnelli and other legends to the 40th. We ended up getting Parnelli to sign personalized ones for Todd, Bob, my Dad and me. I also had 3 others signed with just his signature.
I have two left that have been rolled up and in my basement and I decided it might be a good time and befitting to sell the two to help fund a trip to Baja that my Dad and I will be doing next Spring.
This is not the usual type of collectible item I deal with since it's a poster and also would have a much wider appeal than only Bronco enthusiasts since Parnell is the oldest living Indy 500 winner and also a living legend in multiple racing disciplines.
The 24"x36" posters are mint and just need pressed flat from being rolled up and slightly oval.
The artwork was created by renowned artist and illustrator hall of fame member Robert McGinnis and will certainly look great in a man cave, living room, office or showroom collector garage.
