According to an article by Frank Barrett in the Jan/Feb 2007 issue of The Star (the national magazine of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America), their Sept/Oct 1960 issue offered three 1930s factory race posters for just $10.00, postpaid." The smaller and later printings of this 1939 design have been coming up for sale for years now, and have gained value of their own. The original posters are 23x32 inches, and rarely come up for auction.
