1958 Dick Freeman Judy Wagner Ohio State Fair Racing Photo + Negative #1381

Original vintage 1958 black-and-white auto racing photograph featuring Dick Freeman in a trophy presentation with Judy Wagner at the Ohio State Fairgrounds. Dated April 13, 1958, the photograph shows Freeman standing beside an early open-wheel race car while receiving a trophy from Judy Wagner, with two additional men pictured alongside them. The image captures an excellent period moment from Ohio motorsports history. This example is especially desirable because it is accompanied by the matching original photographic negative and its original studio sleeve. The handwritten negative sleeve identifies “Dick Freeman” and notes “Presentation with Judy Wagner,” along with 1958 Ohio State Fairgrounds information. The reverse of the photograph also carries the original red Smiths Racing Photos / W. H. Smith / Columbus, Ohio photographer’s stamp and handwritten studio catalog information.
