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. 137 - 2008 Pace Car Corvette "Twins Pace the '08 Indy 500"
In 1978, Vette Magazine was a bi-monthly publication and I was a contributing artist and writer. I was talking with then editor, Marty Schorr about my next illustrated article when he asked, “Did you hear the good news?” Corvettes were in the performance doldrums those days, so we were all hungry for some juicy performance news. “A Vette is going to pace the Indy 500 and they’re going to offer replicas!” In the fourteen years I had been following Corvettes I never once heard the mention of a Corvette pacing the Indy 500. Even though many muscle cars had paced the 500, being a sports car, the Corvette just seemed like a disconnect for the Indy 500. But it was a gorgeous car that made speculators delirious with possibility of quick financial gain. For many years, the only ones that gained financially were a few dealers that were charging up to $10,000 over the $13,653 Corvette Pace Car Special price tag.
Initially, Chevy was only going to make 300 Pace Car Specials to commemorate the production run of the ‘53 Corvette. But dealers and buyers howled, so Chevrolet just let the orders come in. By the end of ’78, 6,502 Pace Car Specials were built. Let’s fast forward to ‘86 when General Chuck Yeager drove a yellow pace car Corvette convertible. To avoid the mess of the ’78 Pace Car Special, Chevrolet decided that all ‘86 Corvette convertibles were considered “Pace Car Specials,” which really let the air out of the speculator bubble because there were 7,315 - each with a set of Indy 500 Pace Car decals the customer or dealer could apply. Very few decal sets adorned the sides of ’86 roadsters.
2008 marks a very interesting milestone for the Corvette and its relationship with “the greatest spectacle in motorsports.” Not only is it the 30th anniversary of the first Indy 500 Pace Car Corvette, it is the 10th time a Corvette has paced the 500. That’s a record, Corvette fans, for the entire history of the Indy 500 pace cars. A Corvette has paced the 500 in ‘78, 86, 95, 98, 02, 04, 05, 06, 07, and ’08. Replicas of the pace car Vettes were offered in ‘78, 86, 95, 98, 07, and 08, and have proven to be some of the most valued of the special edition Corvettes. And if all that isn’t enough for you, for ‘08 Chevy had TWO Corvette pace cars on hand. The black and silver car is the version available to the public and the “is it green or gold” E85 Ethanol Z06 that is not available to the public.
The “for public consumption” pace car is available in either coupe or convertible and was priced at $59,090 for the coupe and $68,160 for the convertible. This is your base, 436-horsepower Corvette with either 6-speed manual or the $1,250 optional paddle-shift automatic transmission and the new 5-spoke aluminum wheels. The package includes the special black and titanium paint scheme, Indy 500 logos on the front fenders, a Z06 rear spoiler, and the interior has Indy 500 logos embroidered on the seats. The car is equipped with the 3LT option package that includes the heads up display, power telescoping steering column, auto-dimming mirrors, memory package, heated seats, US9 radio, compass, and the homelink garage door opener. Convertibles get the power roof option. For a little extra grunt, the dual mode Z06 exhaust is included and the Z51 suspension package provides extra grip. The only other extra cost options were the $1,750 Bose Navigation system, the $750 glass roof, and the $1,400 dual removable roof panels. Emmerson Fittipaldi drove the actual E85 pace car and to finish off the entire package, Emmo signed all 500 ’08 Pace Car Specials.
The E85 Ethanol Z06 pace car is a one-of-a-kind experimental Corvette that shows that high-performance can be green. Decoration aside, the car is a stock Z06 with modifications to the fuel system and powertrain controller. E85 Ethanol fuel is 85-percent ethanol and 15-percent gasoline. Indy Car race cars run on 100-percent ethanol. This is the same system currently being sold as GM’s “Flex Fuel” option for SUVs and trucks. GM has built over 2.5 million E85-capable vehicles and Chevrolet offers 7 E85 vehicles. The Gold Rush Green paint is stunning with color that fluxuates between metallic gold to metallic green depending on the light level and the angle of light. Just think of green as in “cash,” and gold as in “Kugarand coins.” The subtle checker pattern on the sides is similar to the production pace car. Emmo said that the E85 will do around 200-mph!
There’s an interesting connection between the E85 Pace Car and Emmerson Fittipaldi. The two-time Indy 500 winner (’89 and ‘93) is in the ethanol refining business in his native Brazil, which is the global leader for ethanol usage in cars.
2008 represents the fifth year in a row that a Corvette has paced the Indy 500 and the second year in a row that Chevrolet has dished up two special edition Corvettes. In ‘07 we saw the Ron Fellows Special Edition Z06 and another Pace Car Special. This year we have the Special Edition 427 Z06 and the Pace Car Special. I think that Chevy is liking this “special edition” thing. Will we see an ’09 ZR1 or an E85 ZR1 Pace Car Special? Now there’s something to ponder. - KST
