Backgrounds: Corvette
The next subject that has showed up a lot in the background of Pesky Gremlins is the other car in the gremlin’s garage which is a classic Corvette. This is supposed to be a 1967 Corvette with the biggest most powerful engine the Chevy offered that year. I have been informed by real Corvette experts that I have actually drawn a 1963 or 1964 Corvette. I, however, do not think this takes away from what a wonderful car the old Corvette was and is.
Why a Corvette? First off, that car just looks great from any angle. Second, the internet is just full of great source material. I can do a google search and find one close to position I want quickly.
From the gremlins perspective, they are utterly indifferent to the Corvette. They have sabotaged it a couple of times but nothing serious. In 2016, they stole it with Slim, the plastic glow-in-the-dark skeleton and almost caught by the police.
Here are a few more:
A Corvette in the background can almost make this guy look good.

Well done.

Thanks David. I really enjoy drawing the Corvette. I have dozens of drawings of this car.

There are a few slight differences in the 67: the side vents are different, as is the grill, and the rear had a reverse light added. All of the series 2 Vettes were very similar, though. Some very nice drawings.
H Stacy
You are absolutely correct. My knowledgeable Corvette friend, who has a ’64, informs me that the vents behind the front wheels on the ’63 and ’64 are horizontal while the 67 has 7 vertical vents.
You are a very Corvette knowledgeable yourself.

I go to a fair number of car shows and run a few of car based websites.
H Stacy
Car based websites? I would like to visit them! Please send or post the links.

I have thousands of pics I haven’t yet posted, but I haven’t done much with these sites in quite a while.

These sites are great! Lots and lots of excellent classic car pictures. I’ve spent too much time already on the Muscle Car Jungle site. I really liked the 20 Fastest Cars article and the Studebaker R2 pictures.
Don’t be surprised if Elmo drives by in something from one of those sites 🙂

I’m glad you enjoyed the sites.

This is what we call ” Shelby Cobra Lunch “. Vette’s looked fast but Cobra’s ate them alive on a road course.
H Stacy
The Shelby Cobras did do that… Much to the Corvette owners and GM’s consternation.

They do look better when I don’t chop them up an stick them in the background.
