FINE ART

The Brickyard Boys
Automobile Quarterly is proud to offer The Brickyard Boys, the companion prints to The Buehrig Collection. These limited edition lithographs are limited in number to only 1000 and each is personally pencil signed by the Indy 500 winner whose car is depicted in the artwork. These rare prints are framed to the same size as The Buehrig Collection with the image area slightly larger. Each lithograph is framed and matted to enhance each individual print and to complement The Buehrig collection, for those collectors who decide to collect both suites of prints.

The Brickyard Boys series was created when Gordon Buehrig introduced Peter DePaolo to the publisher of Living Legends. Gordon Buehrig and Peter DePaolo shared a third floor apartment and Fred Duesenberg's house in Indianapolis. Gordon Buehrig designed the cars and Peter DePaolo raced and tested them at the Speedway. Mr. DePaolo then introduced Mario Andretti and the rest is history. And part of that history is the fact that Jimmy Doolittle was also employed by Fred Duesenberg and was his timekeeper at the 1925 Indy 500. The personal connection between the mechanical genius of Fred Duesenberg, the design genius of Gordon Buehrig, and the competitive and heroic efforts of DePaolo and Doolittle form an artistic bond between these two historic collections that is quite evident when displayed together on the same wall. They span 60 years of classic and racing design that carry with them the personal pencil signed signatures of some of the most important people in automotive history.
