David Snyder’s talent for painting lies in the way he brings our collective memories to life. His Delivery Day series, commissioned by Dan Lekander, Founder of Corvette America, showcases this gift perfectly. With meticulous attention to detail, these paintings bring us back to the excitement of being on the showroom floor in various iconic years of Chevrolet’s history. And this is your opportunity to own a stunning piece of that history!
“Delivery Day – The 53’s” places us at the birth of the Corvette legend, giving a glimpse of the awe inspired by these beautiful machines. Fast forward ten years to “Delivery Day – The 63’s,” and we witness the fever pitch of excitement on the busy sales floor, with the iconic 1963 Corvette split window at the forefront. With “Delivery Day – The 69’s” and “Delivery Day – The 70’s,” Snyder continues his journey through Corvette’s storied history, capturing the joy and anticipation of new models arriving at the dealership.
Snyder’s other paintings also transport us to nostalgic scenes where automobiles played a central role. In “Fuel Injection, Four-Oh-Nine, And Flying Horses,” we relive the camaraderie of hanging out at the local gas station, surrounded by classics. “Getting Off To A Clean Start” offers a whimsical look at a car wash brimming with the 60s and 70s classics, while “Solid Axles & Chicken Baskets” brings to life the golden age of the American diner, complete with a car show in the parking lot.
Finally, “Fall Meet” breaks the mold of typical car show seasons, bringing the vibrancy of a Corvette gathering under the crisp fall air to life. This brilliant work challenges the convention that car shows belong solely to the spring and summer, and instead celebrates the beauty of change and progression – much like the evolution of the cars themselves.
These works by Dave Snyder are one-of-a-kind pieces of art. They are not just paintings; they are vibrant memories, testaments to our shared love of the automobile, and a tribute to the craftsmanship and design of the cars that have defined generations.
