In 1959, Mickey Thompson's famous 555 car roared to a record setting speed of 363.31mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Printed with the permission of Danny Thompson and Ed Iskenderian, this shirt is a reproduction of a surviving 1959 original. In typical M/T fashion, the shirt was printed before the car got the record.
