Gents,
I'm sure many of you have seen various photos or videos of Jay Leno's pretty amazing garage. It is frequently shown on cable, either on My Classic Car or Car Crazy. I just watched an episode where he showed the various McLaren's he has in his shop, then went driving in his new P1. Drooool.

While my 'man cave' is infinitely more modest, it would be cool to get a few of those large scale wall hangings he has. Look to me like reproductions of vintage auto posters. I assume they are not originals, nor would I want any. As the sizes are quite large, I'm not sure if they are framed posters/prints or printed banners (due to their large size) or what?

Any suggestions or leads appreciated.

Thanks!

I saw that episode also, the art work was almost impressive as his cars collection if that is possible

Trent ,Not4N is the go to guy. He can make prints of any size with proper negatives or artwork. He did this one for me it is 5 feet long and you can read the writing on the tires. I have since had it framed

His work looks great. I don't have anything particular of mine in negative/photo form that I'd like to print, but would be interested in finding some large scale prints of vintage posters, like Leno has.

Are you sure that that is not a window with your car parked outside? Great photo! :thumbsup

He has a guy that actually does those massive reproductions by hand.

The prints on Lenos wall are all reproductions. The originals are usually in 17x27" range; even the classic Monaco ones.

You can get reproductions of varying quality; vast majority are glorified color copier quality, with pixalation evident.

This vendor is best I found:

http://www.grandprixposters.com/grandprix-posters/monaco-motor-racing.html


You are better off looking on ebay for race art originals, usually under <$100 and framing locally.

Search:

Grand Prix poster
Vintage racing poster
Original racing poster
1960-1970 racing poster
Specific track names: sebring, Laguna seca, Reims, Rouen, Brands hatch, Mallory Park, Watkins glen.

I have scored huge vintage posters from $5-15 all the way up to $350

Wow. That's pretty crazy. Nothing like having a few full-time mechanics on staff, and a full-time artist !

Here is a 10' poster of me driving at T-hill on my garage wall. It was only $90.
