Thread: Do you know this 917K poster?

    Do you know this 917K poster?

    I bought this poster at a flea-market this morning. It's a little rough around the edges, and has some tape residue on it, that I think will come off. It's dated 1992 on the bottom. do you know any more?
    thanks

    I have that one in my garage. From Worthpedia:

    "The always desirable, rare and oversize (36" x 21") "Blueprint for Success" 917 Poster. Created by Honda desgn chief Dave Marek, this work features blueline renderings of virtually all of the 917 permutations in profile. The line drawings are colored beginning at the nose of the cars and then fade to technical line drawing toward the rear. Besides having been the head of Honda styling, Dave also taught classes at the prestigous Art Center College of Design where he influenced many of todays youg styling talents."

    I have this piece too.
    Didn't know that about Dave Marek.
    I seem to recall another done in this same vein...I could be wrong; my substantial poster collection is put away in a (rather full) flat file right now...nonetheless, this is a great piece.
    $15 is a serious bargain - bordering on criminal ...well done.

    Cheers

    Very nice. Any idea were I could find a reprint?
