Originally created by Gartlan USA, Inc. as a cold cast resin prototype for Dale Earnhardt's pre-production approval, this one-of-a-kind, hand painted figurine forever captures his victory pose as
he steps out of his car. Part of the private personal collection of Robert Gartlan, President of collectibles company Gartlan USA, Inc., it has never been seen by the public until now and represents the first time
Gartlan has ever offered a prototype to the public. You can see all sides of this amazing item in two formats: 360-degree Quicktime VR or java applet. With a clenched fist raised overhead in victory as he climbs from within his vehicle, the Earnhardt Prototype Figurine stands 10 inches tall. "This pose selection in
ceramics was difficult to achieve in sculpture," said Robert Gartlan. "Emblematic of winning a race, it truly gives the piece action, drama, and emotion." Highest bidder will receive the 3-piece figurine set and a
personal letter from Robert Gartlan certifying the item's authenticity as a one-of-a-kind prototype. Specifications:
