24 Hours of Le Mans 1978–1980 – Porsche 935 IMSA Hat Trick and Paul Newman’s 1979 Le Mans, Three Original Posters Signed by Dick Barbour
Three original French 24 Hours of Le Mans event posters from 1978, 1979, and 1980, each hand-signed by American driver and team owner Dick Barbour. The set brings together an original poster from each of Barbour’s three consecutive IMSA class victories at Le Mans. Driving Porsche 935s for his own team, Barbour also finished in the overall top five in all three races.
1978 – No. 90 Porsche 935/77A, First in IMSA and Fifth Overall
Barbour shared the No. 90 Porsche with Brian Redman and John Paul Sr., beginning his three-year run of class wins. The event poster, illustrated by Lardrot, pairs a close-up of a helmeted driver with an oversized red “24.” The painted dot pattern gives the artwork the look of a screen print.
1979 – No. 70 Hawaiian Tropic Porsche 935/77A, First in IMSA and Second Overall
Barbour teamed with Paul Newman and Rolf Stommelen in the No. 70 Porsche. Their second-place overall finish was the best of Barbour’s three Le Mans appearances and came in Newman’s only start at the 24 Hours. The 1979 poster connects the set to one of the best-known entries in American endurance racing.
1980 – No. 70 Porsche 935 K3, First in IMSA and Fifth Overall
Barbour reunited with Brian Redman and shared the No. 70 Kremer Porsche 935 K3 with John Fitzpatrick. Their victory completed the IMSA hat trick. The 1980 event artwork pairs a Porsche 935 with a BMW M1 at dusk, bringing the Porsche model at the center of Barbour’s three-year run into the poster design.
