Vintage racing prints

Hey all, quick question.

I'm moving in a couple months to a new place with a spare bedroom, which I'm turning into a lounge/billiards type thing. I've been looking around for some good George Ham-style vintage racing prints and found quite a few, but I'm trying to avoid using a lot of the really common stuff you see in any race fan's house, i.e. the Fangio Mercedes poster. I've found two especially old ones by Leopoldo Metlicovitz that I REALLY like but so far I can only find them in the sizes I want in Giclee print form. I like them a lot but being on a student's budget, I don't $200-like-them. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find them in relatively large sizes (preferably bigger than 24x36) in simple print form. Here they are:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated - Google has turned up a few, but not in the sizes I'm looking for.
 
Thanks - the 20x30 size is a bit smaller than what I'm looking for, even if I were able to find a high-enough quality image for them to do whatever it is they do, but if I can't find anything suitable elsewhere, that may end up being a good option 👍
 
Could get some modern ones for free too, I mean if you can only afford one of those just go to an ALMS round and get some posters from your favourite team/s (Bad Boy Vettes, heh heh), could get them signed too. Just a suggestion, otherwise you could try swap meets and garage sales in the local area and see if someone by off chance is selling one.
 
Eh, the modern stuff isn't really what I'm after, it needs to feel like an old worn-in lounge. I may just get some cheap George Ham prints for now and then come Christmas see about hitting up family for framed Giclees of the Metlicovitzes. :sly:
