This is an 11”x14” matted Giclee print based on the original Parsons serigraph.
Johnnie Parsons won the season championship in 1949 and finished second in his first Indy 500. He won the Indy 500 in 1950. He drove the Wynn's Friction Proofing Kurtis/Offy to a speed of 124.022 mph and won $57,459 for his first-place finish.
His name is the only misspelled on the Borg-Warner Trophy. The silversmith carved “Johnny” instead of “Johnnie—his son's name.” In 1991, during a trophy restoration project, it was proposed to correct the spelling. Ultimately, it was not changed and remains part of the trophy's lore.
Price: $35.
