This dramatic silver-plated bronze by renowned automotive sculptor Stanley Wanlass features Juan Manuel Fangio in his #18 Mercedes-Benz W196 “Silver Arrow.” Along with Karl Kling in the #20 Mercedes-Benz, Fangio led a dominant 1-2 victory at the 1954 French Grand Prix. This bronze is beautifully executed and is presented here as the foundry copy of the 40 limited examples that were cast.
