Offered are two full tickets (7.5x3.25”) to the fourth Indianapolis 500 in history. Before anyone heard of the Andretti brothers, it was the legend of Ralph DePalma and his old Mercedes Grey Ghost. DePalma would vindicate his disappointment of 1912 with his victory on May 29, 1915. One ticket is peach colored, the other is green. Both display extremely bold graphics and colors. Green ticket is for the Grandstand, priced at $2.50. Peach ticket is “good for admission at gate”, with some creasing on top edge. EX and EX-MT.
