"1953 Carrera Panamericana" Premium Art Shirt Tee

This brand new original Carpe Viam Art Shirt celebrates Porsche's participation in the 4th running of the Carrera Panamericana with a brand new original illustration, presented on its own with no text. The Fletcher Aviation logo is printed on the left sleeve. A shirt with repurposed typography from the original 1953 poster and program cover is available here.

In 1953, the upstart sports car company Porsche shipped three 550's to North America to race in the Carrera Panamericana "Mexico". The cars were hand painted with a livery dramatically featuring their collaboration with Fletcher Aviation. This was no simple sponsorship, the two young companies were collaborating on lightweight, air-cooled aircraft engines and engaged in a mutually beneficial promotion and photoshoot.

This new Art Shirt celebrates the collaboration of these two young companies, and the changing of corporate sponsorship and livery of race cars that forever followed.

This BRAND NEW original art is scheduled to print late in the week of May 12th, so get your orders in to be part of the first printing!

Printed on a high quality light gray blend. 4.2-oz. with 30 singles (fine thread) for extreme softness.
