GT 40 Legends – Danny Day | Artist Proof Signed by Carroll Shelby & Dan Gurney

Limited Edition Acrylagraph on Canvas | 24″ × 32″ | Artist Proof Edition of 100

Three Legendary Signatures. Two Historic Le Mans Victories. One Extraordinary Work of Automotive Fine Art.

Few automobiles have shaped American motorsports history quite like the legendary Ford GT40.

In “GT 40 Legends,” acclaimed automotive artist Danny Day celebrates Ford’s historic victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans through a magnificent composition featuring some of the most recognizable racing machines ever built.

Published in January 2005 by Hallmark Press, Inc., from Day’s original oil painting, this exceptional limited-edition acrylagraph on canvas is offered from the Artist Proof edition of just 100 worldwide.

Adding extraordinary collectible significance, each canvas is individually hand-signed by Carroll Shelby, Dan Gurney, and artist Danny Day.

The Artwork – Celebrating Ford’s Greatest Racing Triumphs

Danny Day masterfully brings together two of the most celebrated chapters in Ford’s endurance racing history.

In the upper portion of the composition, a dramatic black-and-white portrayal commemorates the three Ford GT40s that achieved the historic 1–2–3 finish at Le Mans in 1966, ending Ferrari’s six-year winning streak.

In the foreground, brilliant color brings the racing legends to life.

The unmistakable Gulf Oil blue-and-orange liveries of cars #5 and #6 provide a striking contrast to the brilliant red #1 Ford MkIV, the legendary automobile driven by Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt to overall victory at the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Through extraordinary detail, vibrant color, and historical storytelling, Day captures the spirit of an era when American engineering and determination conquered the world’s most prestigious endurance race.

Three Historic Hand-Applied Signatures

What makes this edition particularly desirable is the combination of three authentic signatures:

Carroll Shelby – The legendary racing driver, automotive entrepreneur, and visionary whose Shelby American organization played a pivotal role in Ford’s historic GT40 racing program.

Dan Gurney – One of America’s greatest racing drivers, who partnered with A.J. Foyt to win the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans in the Ford MkIV prominently featured in this painting.

Danny Day – The acclaimed American automotive artist who created the original oil painting and personally signed and numbered each canvas.

With both Carroll Shelby and Dan Gurney now deceased, this dual-autographed artwork offers collectors a lasting connection to two of the most influential figures in American motorsports history.
