JoeCamaro 11 Posted January 2, 2008 Hello I just vectorizad an 1974 AMC Gremlin (that is a car) for a t shirt design. The thing is that I only have the graphic, but I would like to add some text to it. This is where I need help. I am good at designing, vectorizing and imagining stuff, but I am not good to come up with the text part of the design. I know not every graphic needs a line, but this one does. I will appreciate any help here. Im looking for something retro, vintage, old, something about the car maybe, something relating the 70s. Here is the Pic of the car I vectorized Thank you!

JoeCamaro 11 Posted January 2, 2008 How about ... "Why the hell would anyone want a picture of a '74 Gremlin on their T-Shirt" LOL!!! Sweet! You are funny! Anyways dgreenh, It wont be a pic itself, it will be a vertor graphic. Who would want a t shirt with a Gremlin? Well I only know myself, but there might be someone else wanting one, maybe a Gremlin owner... who knows? Anyways, I want it cuz Im a very retro/vintage kind of person, so that explains it :clap: Haha, thank you for your submition. Hey Terry, Im glad you are happy and enjoying this post! Hahaha! I might send you a Gremlin T shirt later JoeCamaro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeCamaro 11 Posted January 2, 2008 Oh, I forgot to mention that I already have a shirt with a Plymouth Champ and one with a Suzuki Samurai, you can see them in my website (which is in my profile). And coming soon one with a Chevy nova, but this one is going to be made with the plotter and the Gremlin one too. Why I do this? I just love old cars.

JoeCamaro 11 Posted January 2, 2008 I need a text line for real. I was just keeping up the joke, but I dont think I will use that line for production. JoeCamaro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgreenh 9 Posted January 2, 2008 LMAO @ Terry Here are a few facts that I found about it... First modern, U.S.-built subcompact car to market beating Ford and Chevy to the market. Gremlin's basic design was penned on the back of a Northwest Orient barf bag. I like that one. Bigger engine, less weight. The hotrod of '70s subcompacts. the "kamm-back" tail treatment proved to be a bit controversial for some and became the basis for the inevitable "what happened to the rest of your car?" wisecracks. The Gremlin was quicker than other subcompacts but, alas, that only meant you heard the jeers and laughter that much sooner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeCamaro 11 Posted January 2, 2008 That was very informative dgreenh! Thanx a lot :you rock: I like the: "what happened to the rest of your car?" Thats funny! Anyways, I this it was brilliant to drop a big engine in a small car. Maybe Ill draw a Ford Pinto and a Chevy Chevette to make company to the Gremlin Thanx dgreenh!

dgreenh 9 Posted January 2, 2008 My history class for the day. Gremlin beat the Pinto and Vega to market. I think that Vega pre-dates the Chevette. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted January 2, 2008 My brother used to have a Chevette. He used to tell all the girls he had a "Vette". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgreenh 9 Posted January 2, 2008 I'm going to have to agree with Terry on this one... In this thread, we have seen 2 fine examples of why AMC is no longer in business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
