An exceptional limited-edition lithograph by acclaimed American automotive artist Danny Day, featuring the legendary Ferrari 156 “Sharknose,” one of the most celebrated Formula One race cars in Ferrari’s history.
Created from Danny Day’s original artwork, this collectible lithograph is individually hand-signed in pencil by Phil Hill (1927–2008), the first American-born Formula One World Champion. Each piece is also personally signed and numbered by the artist.
Offered in excellent condition, this artwork combines fine automotive artistry with an authentic signature from the driver who made the Ferrari 156 famous.
Introduced for the 1961 Formula One season, the Ferrari 156 was developed to meet Formula One’s new 1.5-liter engine regulations.
Its distinctive twin-nostril front air intakes earned it the nickname “Sharknose,” creating one of the most recognizable designs in Grand Prix racing history.
Powered by Ferrari’s V6 engine, the 156 quickly established itself as the dominant racing machine of the 1961 season.
Behind the wheel of the Sharknose, Phil Hill captured the 1961 Formula One World Drivers’ Championship, becoming the first American-born driver to achieve that distinction. Ferrari also secured the 1961 International Cup for F1 Manufacturers.
Today, the Ferrari 156 remains an enduring symbol of Ferrari’s racing heritage and the golden age of Formula One.
Danny Day’s detailed rendering captures the automobile’s unmistakable styling, elegant proportions, and historic racing character.
Phil Hill (1927–2008) was one of America’s most accomplished international racing drivers and among Ferrari’s most celebrated champions.
His extraordinary career included:
1961 Formula One World Drivers’ Championship
Three overall victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
Multiple victories at the 12 Hours of Sebring
A distinguished career as a Ferrari factory racing driver
Hill’s personal autograph on this lithograph provides a meaningful historical connection to the Ferrari that carried him to his World Championship.
