An exceptional original pencil drawing of the legendary Ferrari 156 “Sharknose” Formula One race car, created in 2005 by acclaimed automotive artist Danny Day and personally autographed that same year by Phil Hill (1927–2008), the first American-born Formula One World Champion.
Unlike a limited-edition print or reproduction, this is a one-of-a-kind original drawing that captures the distinctive design of one of Ferrari’s most celebrated Grand Prix automobiles.
Professionally framed to an overall size of 15″ × 18″, this artwork is in excellent condition and ready for display.
The Legendary Ferrari 156 Sharknose
Introduced for the 1961 Formula One season, the Ferrari 156 became one of the most recognizable and successful Grand Prix cars of its era.
Its distinctive twin-nostril front air intakes earned it the nickname “Sharknose.” Powered by a V6 engine, the car combined innovative engineering with exceptional performance.
Driving the Ferrari 156, 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, establishing the Sharknose as one of the most historically significant Formula One cars ever produced.
Danny Day’s detailed pencil work captures the Ferrari’s unmistakable styling, low-profile chassis, and purposeful racing character.
Personally Autographed by Phil Hill
Phil Hill (1927–2008) was one of America’s most accomplished international racing drivers and one of Ferrari’s most celebrated champions.
In addition to his 1961 Formula One World Championship, Hill achieved three overall victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and multiple victories at the 12 Hours of Sebring.
His personal signature, applied in 2005, creates a direct historical connection between this original artwork and the driver who won the World Championship in the Ferrari 156.
