She Wanted a ’76 Corvette. I Had a ’77.
A couple of years ago, a customer asked me for a coffee mug featuring a 1976 Corvette. I had a ’77 in my shop, but she was looking for a ’76. If you’ve ever shopped for a gift for a car person, you know a year can make all the difference.
“Can you send me a photo?” I asked. “If you can, I’ll design a mug from it.”
She sent me a picture of this bright orange Stingray, parked beside rows of green vines. The angle showed off the long hood and the sweep of the front fenders. I took the car out of the background and put it on a mug with a line that suits it just fine: “I’m not old. I’m classic!”
That’s how today’s Product of the Day came to be. It also gives you an idea of what we can do with a photo of a car that means something to you. Maybe it’s the one you spent years restoring, the one your dad drove, or the one you still wish you’d kept.
If you have a car in mind, message me through Etsy with a clear photo and any wording you’d like. And if this orange ’76 is exactly the car you’re looking for, here’s the finished mug.
