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
Binky
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.
