An original 1962 Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. letterhead, boldly signed in black pastel chalk by the company's founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Dating from the revolutionary first year of his automotive venture, this document is a direct artifact from the genesis of the legendary marque.
The letterhead measures 8.25" x 11" and features the short-lived, early company logo—a circular emblem containing the letters "AL" (for Automobili Lamborghini) within a gear—used only briefly before the iconic raging bull was adopted. Printed below the logo is the company's first operational address: "06064 Panicale - Perugia", locating it at Ferruccio's original tractor factory and office complex in Umbria, Italy.
The most compelling feature is the large, dramatic, and pristine signature of "Ferruccio Lamborghini" applied directly across the header in rich black pastel chalk, a medium that gives the autograph remarkable texture and presence. This is not a later-added signature but one contemporaneous with the early 1960s period, making it an authentic piece of founding memorabilia.
