Bio
J. Curby is the current patriarch of the Gremlin crime family, but he got there by some unconventional roads. Don't let the rough exterior fool you - he was once maître d' of the flagship restaurant of superstar Motorio Brake-tali. He even soaked in the best of the big city's shows. These days, J Curby has turned to a life of mischief, serving up danger and singing a more ominous tune....
J. Curby Gremlin is a purple and yellow striped Gremlin car from Detroit, who works with Professor Z. He is a member of the Gremlin family. J. Curby, the other main heads of the three lemon families (Pacer, Trunkov, Hugo) attend a meeting with Professor Z in Porto Corsa to discuss their evil plans about discrediting the Allinol by using the radiation disguised camera to crash out the racers in the World Grand Prix that use the gas, and ensure that all cars keep using conventional fuel to secure the profits of their "lemon" organization who managed to secure the largest unexplored oil resources in the world. J. Curby is seen smiling at the idea.
Near the end of the film, J. Curby Gremlin is sprayed by Red.

Trivia
- He is the only head lemon seen with a weapon.
- He appears in Cars 2: The Video Game along with several look-alikes.
- When Mater scans J. Curby and the other lemon heads, it is shown that J. Curby is currently wanted in The Republic of New Rearendia, which is a fictional country that Rip Clutchgoneski is from. This is possibly another Easter egg.
