[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”6379″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Granatelli: Larger Than Life presented by O’Donovan & McCardel Wealth Management of Raymond James chronicles the life and legacy of Andy Granatelli, the marketing wizard who turned STP Oil Treatment into a globally-recognized brand, brought some of the most technologically-daring and breathtaking race cars to the Indianapolis 500 as a car owner in the 1960s, and after years of heartbreak, won the “500” in 1969 with Mario Andretti.

The Granatelli brothers were a true rags-to-riches, “American dream” story. Andy, his older brother, Joe, and younger sibling, Vince, grew up in a tough Chicago neighborhood, yet the trio were automotive entrepreneurs before their teenage years, and they would eventually develop a corporate empire through their love of performance vehicles. Andy, always the promoter, rubbed elbows with A-list celebrities and personally elevated the status of the Indianapolis 500 while promoting his own brands.

“Granatelli: Larger Than Life presented by O’Donovan & McCardel Wealth Management of Raymond James” will occupy the North Hall and Gallery at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum through 2021.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”6157″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_btn title=”CLICK HERE TO VIEW ADOPT-AN-EXHIBIT CARS” color=”danger” align=”center” link=”url:%23Adopt|||”][vc_column_text]From the Vault presented by Bank of America features rare and significant pieces from the IMS Museum collection. This exhibit provides a glimpse into the incredible automotive and motorsports treasures in our diverse collection, including rare or one-of-a-kind race cars, automobiles, trophies, artwork, and artifacts. Each item has a truly unique story about the Indianapolis Motor Speedway or our worldwide passion for racing and automobiles.

A few From the Vault features include:

– The 1964 Ferrari 250 LM – the last Ferrari to score overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in 1965, and the 1966 Ford GT40 No. 4, driven by Mark Donohue and Paul Hawkins at Le Mans in 1966. The car was part of Ford Motor Company’s successful challenge to Ferrari, chronicled in the blockbuster film Ford v Ferrari.

– A host of historically significant open-wheel race cars: a 1906 FIAT, the 1957 winner of “Race of Two Worlds” at Monza, Janet Guthrie’s 1978 Wildcat Indy car, and the fastest car in Indianapolis 500 history: Arie Luyendyk’s 1996 track record-setting Reynard.

– Original paintings by renown motorsports artists, on display in the IMS Museum Gallery.

– Pop culture artifacts and priceless trophies, such as the majestic Wheeler-Schebler Trophy and incredible works from the Rudolf Caracciola pre-World War II Grand Prix collection.
