The Art of Miroslav Porochnavy — Part I

It all started with a Facebook post to the C3 Corvette Owners forum I'm a member of.

Miroslav, a talented automotive artist in Humenné, Slovakia, posted a beautifully executed pencil and marker drawing of a C3 to show forum members his artistic abilities (see image below). Suspecting that he would get tons of requests in the next couple of days, I immediately sent him a friend's request followed by an inquiry via Messenger, to which he replied immediately.

After a few messages back and forth I commissioned Miroslav to capture my 1976 Corvette Stingray on paper.

Pace Car Air Dam For My 76 Vette | Part 1

For the model year 1978, the Corvette Indy Pace Car edition featured a distinctive front air dam that not only gave the car a more aggressive look but also helped improve its drag coefficient.

In addition to the front air dam, the car also featured a "ducktail" style rear spoiler, also made out of urethane.

But for the 1976 Stingray, those accessories were not available and my car featured a functional chin air dam whose mission was to help direct air to the front of the radiator.

Functional, yes. Sexy, definitely not.
