Default Gurney poster showing him at LeMans '67

For those of you who like memorabilia about the '60s, I finally finished the painting of Dan Gurney who of course with A.J. Foyt won
leMans in '67 in a Mk. IV Ford GT. I portray him with the famous bottle of champagne in his hand (though I didn't mention the brand, Moet ed Chandon). To see the work, here's the URL:

Incidentally that bad boy Gurney shook up the magnum of champagne and gave everyone a champagne shower from the victory stage, (which annoyed his patrons, Mr. & Mrs. Henry Ford II no end) but became a standard thing for racers everywhere.
