Auto Racing Greats Converge at CFA Gallery; Extraordinary Automotive Event of a Lifetime Celebrates ``The Art of Speed''

SAN ANSELMO, Calif.--Nov. 1, 2005--American automotive racing legends Carroll Shelby, Phil Hill and Dan Gurney will appear in person at CFA Gallery on Saturday, November 12, 2005 for "The Art of Speed" -- an exciting automotive art event featuring paintings and limited edition prints autographed by these legends. Hundreds of works of automotive art from the world's premier automotive artists Le Roy Neiman, Nicholas Watts, Danny Day, Pat Bailey and Peter Mars are now on display and available for purchase at CFA Gallery. Numerous vintage race cars made famous by these legendary drivers will be on display at the event. CFA Gallery is open Wednesday to Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm, and evenings by appointment.

This historic day long event is a once in a lifetime opportunity for auto and racing enthusiasts from around the country to meet these racing greats and to commemorate the event with a celebrity photograph with all three racing legends when purchasing a driver autographed work of art. Premier collectors who purchase a work of art in advance are invited to join CFA Gallery for an intimate sit-down "Dinner with the Drivers" on Saturday evening.

"The thrill of meeting legendary competitors in person is matched only by the adrenalin-fueled intensity of art depicting the race," says CFA Gallery Director Karen Johnston. "The Gallery is already a super-charged atmosphere, the perfect setting for the convergence of distinguished drivers and devoted fans."

The largest selection of "The Art of Speed" automotive fine art will be available now through November 12. Collectors are encouraged to visit CFA Gallery now, or to access the "Art of Speed" Web site (www.art-of-speed.com) to preview the collection. Private tours can be arranged and event details are available directly through CFA Gallery (800-972-1488).

CFA Gallery seeks to showcase collectors' classic cars during the event. Enthusiasts can contact CFA Gallery to reserve a collectors' spot in front of the gallery. CFA Gallery is located at 20 Greenfield Avenue, San Anselmo CA 94960.
