Found something cool today

Post by Mikey »

My wife’s brother brought a big box of memorabilia over today, from their parents who passed in 2006 and 2008. My FIL was in the Army Air Corps in Germany in the early 50s, installing radar sites or something. He was a big motorhead - his old man *allegedly* owned the first auto repair in Omaha. These are tickets for the 24 hour race at Le Mans in 1954. Ten minutes of Google research indicates that probably the one on the right was the main admission, the one on the left was for an especially desirable viewing area called the Arnage Corner.

A search of eBay sold listing produces a ticket from 1955 that looks a bit different and sold for $43.

Cool find, obviously you’re keeping it.
