I take stuff like that to my local Hobby Lobby. There's a lady there that does cool stuff. We pick border colors and frame options. I throw money at it and she makes it awesome. Probably $100 for something that size. Probably somewhere near you that does stuff like that.

You have three basic choices.
1. Push pins in the corners to hang in the garage.
2. A very basic frame as is shown above
3. Professional framing with mats, etc, behind glass.
Professional framing behind glass, with matting, and a nice frame is expensive. I have done a LOT of framing over the years, big and small, with several different shops, and a nice frame for that is going to be well over $200. A nice wood frame with a double mat could be double that.
And the poster isn't worth it. It's just a mass-produced poster, not an art object. It's kitsch at best and belongs in the garage. If you hang one of these in your bedroom, you have no class. You must still be living with Mom. If you want something a little classy, buy one of those "rendered" pics of your own vette you see advertised here periodically, put it in a nice frame, and hang it in the den above those model sailboats your grandfather built.

Dropped by the local Michaels and found a nice wood frame for 40 bucks and hung it in my downstairs bathroom. I like it, just hope the wife doesn't notice for a while lol.

Poster frames are inexpensive. Plastic sides and a plastic cover. Unfortunately this poster is a bit small. Reverse the pic in the one you buy, center the Grand Sport Poster and have a white boarder. Good enough for the garage-where I put mine!
