Evel Knievel

Full-length view of a red, blue and cream electro-mechanical playfield seen through the glass, with the cabinet front and coin door visible below. The upper third is dominated by three mushroom pop-bumper caps: two cream-and-blue discs reading 100 and a central silver 1000, arranged around a painted red backdrop with a large flowing cursive title partly hidden behind them. Painted to the left is a dark-haired man in a black leather jacket crouched over a motorcycle; to the right a blond man in a pale jumpsuit stands beside a silver ramp. Blue inlay panels run down both outer edges, studded with white five-pointed stars, with wedge text reading TARGETS SCORE 500 ADVANCE BONUS on the right. The middle carries a blue rectangle of nine white stars above two vertical red score ladders (5000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 10,000, 80,000, 60,000, 40,000), flanked by two huge red-and-white curved script letters. Two orange-haired cartoon women in white T-shirts and blue trousers stand in the lower left and lower right inlays beside 100 CASH / 500 PLAYER BONUS markers. Two red-tipped flippers and a black star-emblem apron sit below; cream instruction cards and red Bally logos occupy the lower deck.

A wide painted backglass in a red, white and blue stars-and-stripes motif, framed by a red-and-white striped border with blue corner blocks. The centre is dominated by a full-body illustration of a male motorcyclist in white leathers with a red star on the chest, astride a chrome chopper with a huge front wheel, drawn head-on and foreshortened. Above his head sit two black ovals marked 1 UP and 2 UP; below, 3 UP and 4 UP, each framing a white translucent score window with grey roller-drum segments. Across the top runs an orange-and-yellow sunset sky with bunting fans at both corners, a row of red motorcycle silhouettes, and the words OVER THE TOP above them, with 180,000 in the top right corner. On the right is a large portrait of a smiling red-haired man in a white and blue star-spangled jacket. On the left is the title logo in large red-and-white script over a slanted flag panel, plus a small inset panel showing a woman in a white top and blue shorts standing beside a low red, white and blue car.

A painted, airbrushed stunt-rider backglass on a deep blue field scattered with yellow-and-white five-pointed stars. Centre: a helmeted motorcyclist in a white leather suit covered in blue stars and red-and-white stripes, right arm raised in a fist, riding a chrome motorcycle that rears up on its back wheel with the fat front tyre dominating the middle of the glass. Left: a large portrait of a smiling, clean-shaven man with swept-back brown hair, wearing a blue star-and-stripe jacket with a wide pale collar. Right: a young woman with shoulder-length brown hair in a white T-shirt and blue denim shorts, holding a paper cup. Four rolled-digit score windows in dark brown bezels sit in a row across the upper third, each flanked by round medallions labelled UP. Bottom: a second pair of score windows marked 3 UP and 4 UP. Orange, yellow and green flames lick up along the bottom edge. Large red-and-yellow script logo on the right reads Evel Knievel, with a small green script plaque beneath it.

A brightly painted racing-themed backglass, hand-illustrated in flat comic-book colour with airbrushed shading. The centre is dominated by a black open-wheel racing car seen head-on from a low angle, its long tapering nose, exposed suspension arms, big slick tyres and front wing filling the middle of the panel; the nose is lettered with a large yellow-outlined "10" and the rear wing endplates carry yellow "KOBRA" lettering, with a small red sponsor plate on the left wing. Behind the car sits a big yellow ellipse ringed by a blue-and-white dotted/checkered oval, and the upper half is a green field carrying a long row of about twenty gold trophy cups in a straight line. Three figures flank the car: at far left a blond man in a pale blue peaked cap bearing a Goodyear-style oval logo, wearing a chunky green knitted sweater and holding a black-and-white checkered flag; at centre-right a red-haired young woman in a white crop top with a red star, blue jeans and a straw hat trimmed red-white-green ribbon; beside her a dark-haired young woman in a cream top with a red star and blue jeans. The right third is a red field scattered with white-outlined stars, carrying an American flag and a Union Jack on crossed poles above two tall cocktail glasses, and a white horse head. Four circled player numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 each marked "VP" flank two windows of digit score reels, with a small CREDIT window on the right. Bottom left reads the title, and the lower band carries coin illustrations.

A brightly painted, cartoon-illustrated backglass in a mid-century American idiom, framed by a red, white and blue striped border with a scalloped inner keyline. The central field is deep blue, scattered with white five-pointed stars of varying sizes. Three human figures: at left a large bust portrait of a tanned, dark-haired man with a broad square jaw and heavy-lidded eyes, wearing a pale blue shirt, his shoulder wrapped in a red-white-and-blue stars-and-stripes fabric; at centre a motorcyclist in a white leather racing suit with red trim, a white open-face helmet with goggles pushed up on the brow, gripping the handlebars of a chrome motorbike shown in three-quarter view, its fat black rear tyre dominating the centre; at right a slim young woman with shoulder-length dark hair in a pale blue-and-white top and shorts, standing full length and facing the viewer. Two large orange, red and yellow flames rise from the bottom edge, licking upward around the bike's rear wheel. Across the top runs a row of small red-and-white striped canopies or tents on a blue awning strip. Four blank score windows are paired with round badges reading 1 UP, 2 UP, 3 UP and 4 UP. On the right the title is set in large curved red script with white outline, beside three slanted red-white-blue stripes and a cream scroll bearing a script name.
