1934 Los Angeles Municipal Airport Pacific Speedway Poster Print

Before Los Angeles International Airport became a bustling modern airport, it included L.A. Municipal Airport Speedway, where cars raced from 1934 to 1936.  Speed-mad Angelenos flocked to the two-mile dirt track to see such daredevils as Rex Mays of Riverside, Louie Meyer of Los Angeles, Lou Moore of San Gabriel and Kelly Petillo of Huntington Park, who wore dashing scarves, white-cloth headgear and goggles during their adventures.  In the early part of the 20th century, L.A. was the centerpiece of motor racing. In Beverly Hills and Culver City, tracks were made of lumber. Long Beach and Santa Monica used city streets. Lincoln Heights and Saugus favored dirt.  In fact, according to author Harold L. Osmer, Southern California was the biggest racing market in the world.

This program poster print from 1934 is awesome. The reproduction poster measures 16 inches wide x 20 inches tall, will make for a great candidate to be framed up for the garage, shop, office or workshop.

     I dig these posters so much. It makes for such a fun hobby. When ever I put together these orders to get shipped out, I always lay them out and take a look at the prints before I roll it up for the tube and say “Man , this is an awesome poster !!” .. or “I LOVE the art work on this one !!” . And most of the time my wife will laugh at me in the background, because I say it so often. And I tell her they ARE cool, they ARE awesome. Like the one today , the 1956 Dodge City Motorcycle Racing Poster Print. The motorcycle racing prints are great. This is simple art , very classy . This 50′s reproduction print measures 14.25 inches wide x 22 inches tall. A nice tall print that looks fantastic all framed up. Framing these totally takes them up to another notch. Very cool retro art deco. National Motorcycle Rally. World Famous Riders A.M.A. Sanction. Dodge City Kansas. Labor Day Weekend. Sept 1-2-3, 1956.

Free shipping thru the Amazon WebStore on orders of $30 or more. Father’s Day is coming up soon, that mean the LA Roadster show is soon too. An awesome show to attend. So for this Father’s Day buy him a cool poster for his garage or workshop. You know he will love it. It still amazes me how many people use Amazon more than eBay these days. And also how much eBay is trying to be like Amazon with stuff like “Daily Deals”  and such. I am not sure what website I found , but it does a comparison when you plug in two websites addresses in. And the graph that came up was so impressive. The Amazon hit counter was climbing and has been for a few years now, as for eBay it was down down down. I know everywhere I go these days its Amazon, Amazon , Amazon all over sites with item links to products. They totally know what they are doing.
