Gooding & Company is proud to offer this important and deeply personal collection of artifacts from the family of America’s first Formula One World Champion, Phil Hill. Hill’s on-track accomplishments are well documented and place him among the greats from the golden era of motor sports. Hill, more often than not, would keep items that were part of his race weekend experience, whether a program, poster, entry ticket, armband, pin, or, on occasion, a trophy. This incredible collection embodies Hill's achievements, and its sale offers collectors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire items that resonate with them personally. Each lot represents a piece of his career, be it a small race weekend in Southern California or a triumph at the world’s most prestigious endurance race. It is with the utmost honor and reverence to Phil Hill’s incredible legacy as a driver, restorer, journalist, photographer, husband, and father that we offer "A Life in Racing."
All Geared Online lots are available for viewing and inspection, by appointment only, at Gooding & Company’s Southern California facility. Appointments are available weekdays 9am to 5pm from Monday, February 8, through Friday, February 19.
Please note that due to COVID-19 safety measures, all Gooding & Company visitors will be required to comply with all posted guidelines and directives received from Gooding & Company staff during their visit.
