Fab pairing of original vintage Formula One posters from races in 1979 and 1980 at the famed Watkins Glen International in New York State. Both preserved in excellent condition, the 1979 poster measures 19 1/2" x 37" and shows an illustration of legendary Canadian driver Gilles Villeneuve leading the pack in his #12 Ferrari, with pictures at the top of Villeneuve, Andretti, Scheckter, Jones, Laffite, and Lauda. This poster came factory folded and so has natural fold creases, as well as some edge wear close to the bottom. The 1980 poster, with no condition issues, measures 17" x 33" and along with the race illustration, again has a photo of Gilles Villeneuve at the top with Andretti, Laffite, Jones, Piquet, and Scheckter. Villeneuve, inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in 1993, would die in a collision during the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix. Both of these great posters herald the Toyota Grand Prix, Oct. 7, 1979 and Oct. 5, 1980, and would look simply stunning in frames.
