Description

A mid-century Firestone presentation portfolio documenting the Indianapolis 500 during the golden years — 1951 through the mid-1950s. Included is a press-captioned image referencing Walt Faulkner’s 1951 pole speed of 136.498 mph, alongside photographs of pit crews, executives, Chevrolet signage, early Corvette image, Pennzoil Special imagery, Firestone Champion tire promotions, and Speedway ceremony moments.

The inscription from George W. Moore — a key Firestone executive deeply involved in racing promotion — strongly suggests this portfolio was prepared for internal or executive distribution. Likely not public. Likely not widely produced. This is the intersection of American industry and American speed. Firestone. Chevrolet. Indianapolis. And very, very rare.

A cohesive, archival survivor — and far more compelling than a stack of detached press photos.
