Description
FIREBALL 500 (Original 1966 Australian daybill film poster for Fireball 500, issued in 1966, directed by William Asher and starring Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, and Fabian.
The vertical daybill format (13 x 30 inches) is distinctive to Australian distribution and differs materially from the standard U.S. one-sheet in both proportions and graphic handling. This design is notably dynamic, featuring a sweeping, high-energy composition of stock cars in motion, rendered in bold, saturated color with strong linear movement. The prominent “Fireball 500” titling and racing imagery reflect the film’s emphasis on speed and spectacle.
This example has been professionally linen-backed using archival, acid-free materials and presents in excellent condition. The colors remain vivid, and the surface is stable, with restoration carried out in accordance with accepted conservation standards. The format’s naturally elongated proportions make it particularly well-suited for vertical display.
