1966 Chaparral 2E Lithograph Signed by Phil Hill | Danny Day Artwork

Few American race cars changed motorsports engineering like the 1966 Chaparral 2E. Radical, experimental, and instantly recognizable, the 2E helped introduce the modern concept of aerodynamic downforce to sports car racing.

Created by acclaimed automotive artist Danny Day, this limited edition lithograph celebrates the revolutionary Chaparral 2E, one of the most important Can-Am race cars ever built. Individually hand signed by Phil Hill and individually signed and numbered by Danny Day, this collectible connects American innovation, Can-Am history, and one of the greatest drivers of the era.

Designed by Jim Hall and Hap Sharp, the Chaparral 2E featured a dramatic high-mounted adjustable rear wing that worked in clean airflow above the car. At a time when most race cars relied heavily on mechanical grip, the 2E pointed the way toward the aerodynamic future of motorsports.

Whether displayed in a home, office, garage, showroom, or private collection, this artwork is a tribute to Chaparral, Can-Am, Phil Hill, and one of the boldest engineering experiments in American racing history.

About the Chaparral 2E

The Chaparral 2E is one of the most innovative American race cars ever created. Built for the 1966 Can-Am season, it introduced aerodynamic thinking that was far ahead of its time.

Its high-mounted adjustable rear wing helped generate downforce and improve cornering grip, while its dramatic profile made it one of the most recognizable cars of the 1960s. The 2E scored a famous one-two finish at Laguna Seca in 1966, proving the effectiveness of Jim Hall's radical design.

Today, the Chaparral 2E is remembered as a landmark in race car aerodynamics and one of the defining machines of the Can-Am era.
