No Reserve Roger Penske Autographed Porsche Racing Photo
Item Details
- location: Arizona 85203
- Lot #: M-0051251
Available for auction is a Roger Penske autographed Porsche racing photo. This rare, possibly one-of-a-kind photograph captures Roger Penske in full racing gear—helmet and suit—taking a leap into a Porsche 550 RS, likely taken between 1958 and 1961. 
The striking black-and-white image, signed "All the best, Roger Penske," is printed on canvas and measures approximately 48" in width, with a height of 47". The photograph comes with original wall mounting hardware, including two metal rods and four brackets, ensuring an impressive and dramatic presentation. This iconic piece offers a unique glimpse into the legacy of one of motorsport's most legendary figures.
The seller would like you to know: " This autographed photo of Roger Penske hung in his Scottsdale, Arizona Porsche dealership until the showroom was remodeled and the art work replaced. I acquired the piece from dealership's general manager."

Greggory, good question. Given the age of the photo, it had to have been shot on film. I assume that the enlarged print on canvas was made from the negative. I therefore further assume that the enlarged print was then signed. But I didn't see Mr. Penske sign it. I will examine it closely when I return home tomorrow and then respond further. But whether the autograph is ink on the print or the print was made from a signed photo rather than from a negative, the autograph must be genuine because Mr. Penske's own dealership would not display a counterfeit, and the piece is really cool and looks great on the wall in my racing simulator room, as it did at the Porsche dealership.
Is this a print with a genuine hand signed autograph or is the autograph part of the print?
