Belonging to the private collection of General President Juan Domingo Perón.

His favorite model was an Italian icon that became popular in Argentina in the 1950s.

Juan Manuel Fangio is one of those figures touched by destiny. Your personal projection grows with the passage of time and becomes part of the collective heritage as a good that belongs to everyone. The Foundation finds its reason for being in treasuring for later the life of this unique man, as a permanent example of chivalry, measured ambition, self-improvement and humility.

Even with the passage of time, Fangio remains as valid as ever thanks to the work of the Foundation, the family and the collaboration of the companies that sponsor the activity carried out by itself and through the Technological-Cultural Center and Museum of the Motoring.
