"Grady’s Project "After being an enthusiasts of corvettes, I started to look at various race cars. I found a interesting story of two corvettes owned by Grady Davis. The were partially sponsored by Gulf Oil. In 1963, Grady raced both cars winning a number of times. Gradys success became well known and this 1963 corvette, which is featured in my painting, was the number one car. I pictured it in a grand stand prior to a race.
