rare Mobil Gasoline 1958 RUDY BERGER hydroplane trophy.
Here is a truly unique piece of Unlimited Hydroplane Boat Racing History. This IS the real
thing; guaranteed authentic.
The engraved plaque reads: MOBIL - HONORARY
- CREW CHIEF AWARD - 1958 - PRESENTED TO - RUDY BERGER - FOR OUTSTANDING - SERVICE
- Hydro Racing Team by Don K. Bagley (facsimile signed).
A quick history: Rudy Berger was the Crew Chief of the US 1 Hydroplane in 1962 when it set the then world record of 200.4 mph. I do NOT know who he crewed for in
1958; the year he was presented this award. MOBIL Gasoline supplied the fuel to
most; if not all of the hydroplanes.
This is classic 1950's with gold finished metal fittings on blonde wood There is an Eagle with raised wings over to the far left, that is approx. 2.5" tall. There is a
6" long Hydroplane Race Boat to the right, mounted on a raised platform. The engraved section measures approx. 4.75" by 3". Overall, the wooden base is approx. 9" by 5" , and the whole piece stands approx, 8.5" tall. Hard to get a good photo without glare and reflection. So please forgive the quality of our images. There is extremely minor wear to the finish of the boat toward the rear of the
sponson. There are no breaks, no gouges, no stains, no flaws. A superb display item, and a definite piece of unlimited history!
Truly one of a kind! 395.00

Very good looking piece. This was an item from Bob's personal collection. sorry, but I do not know the artist's name (first initial is possibly a "J" and the last name is possibly "Mesa"). Obviously, he is very talented. The overall measurements of the matte are approx 17.5" by 14". The artwork is approx. 15.5" by 12.5" and the actual portrait illustration is approx. 8" by 7.75". this piece has been double matted with a thin plastic piece to protect the image. This is the ORIGINAL art, not a mass produced item. quick notes: winner of a record 12 APBA Gold Cups, member of the Motorsports Hall of Fame (in 1995, the youngest member inducted!). driver of the Barney Armstrong Machine, Squire Shop, Atlas Van Lines, Circus Circus, and of course, The Miss Budweiser. 89.50
