Enzo Ferrari-signed first day postal cover, his signature in black ink above a New York postmark dated 24 April 1972, issued to commemorate Fiorello H. LaGuardia, City Mayor 1933-1944, 9 by 17cm., 4 by 7in. They may never have met, yet in 1936 Ferrari will have received a cheque for $32,000 from Mayor LaGuardia, after Nuvolari won the Vanderbilt Cup race for Scuderia Ferrari at the new Roosevelt Speedway on Long Island, though this prize money will have been passed to Alfa Romeo.
