What is "giclee? Giclee (pronounced gee’clay) is a French term meaning to spray or squirt, which is how an inkjet printer works. However, it is not the same as a standard desktop inkjet printer.Giclee printers use special light-fast inks, which, if kept out of the sun, will remain true for up to 25 years. The image has all the tonalities and hues of the original art. Each giclee print is the finest and most expensive reproduction process in use today and sought after by true art collectors as the most accurate and valuable art prints to own. The giclee process uses digital technology printing with archival inks and paper producing the most stunning reproductions.
A delightful gift for the home or office of that hard to buy for Corvette person in your life!

Here's the story:
Illustrated Corvette Series No. 70 - 1986 Corvette Convertible - "Return of the Roadster"
Harley Earl didn't just design Buicks. The Corvette was his dream of an American sports car to compete with Europe's best. And right from the beginning, the Corvette was a roadster. Thirty years later, when Dave McLellan and his design staff were designing the C4 Corvette, they had in mind that the C4 Corvette would soon become a roadster again.
Since the basic C4 frame was designed with a future convertible in mind, major changes to the structure were not required. All that was needed was an x-brace on the frame, larger k-braces, thicker sections on several connecting bars, and a few other minor additions. The x-brace under the bottom of the main frame required that the ride height be increased by 10mm. The American Sunroof Company was contracted to work out the details of the top mechanism and everything else was developed by the Corvette engineering team. Extra space was needed for the convertible top, so the gas tank size was reduced from 20 gallons to 18 gallons.
There was a major change under the hood as well for '86 – aluminum heads. What was exotic in the '60s was now stock. The new cylinder heads shaved 40 pounds off the front end. Other engine changes included triple catalytic converters and an increase in compression from 9:1 to 9.5: 1. The net result was a 5 hp increase to 235 hp. This was the first year for mandated third brake lights. Most cars had tacked-on third break lights, but the roadster had a very nicely integrated light at the top edge of the rear bumper cover.
The suspension setup on the roadster was stiffer than a stock Corvette, but not as stiff as a Z51 optioned car. All roadsters got the wider Z51 wheels. ABS braking was standard on all Corvettes for '86. Journalists loved the handling of the new roadster, but everyone had to get used to the "thumper" ABS brake system.
The only changes in the interior were slightly angled instruments for better day-time readability and an all-new electronic air- conditioning system. A new cloth material was used for the stock seats.
Aside from the obvious visual difference of the convertible top, the only other exterior change was several new colors and slightly revised wheels. The new wheels now had a brushed finish on the center section.
All of the wonderful changes came at a very hefty price. The stock Corvette was up $2,624 to $27,027. The roadster was a $5,005 option that hiked the price to $32,032! Sales dropped from 39,729 the year before, to 35,109 in '86, with 7,315 convertibles built. But it didn't matter, the rave reviews and the sheer driving fun of the new roadster was well worth it. - KST
