    One of the coolest, and appears to be very valuable, things I've found at my daily thrift store treasure hunt!
    This Lotus-Ford 49 poster is big (24" x 60"!) but has no identifying marks. I found 1 other one on 1st Dibs that also calls it unknown - but they are still asking almost $2,000 for it!
    I was hoping the miracle workers on this forum will be able to tell me something about it?
    Thanks for any information in advance!

    Not listed anywhere else that I can find. Why I was hoping someone here would pull a rabbit out of the hat and know something about it!

    The car itself was built in 1967 for the Formula 1 Grand Prix.
