In this General Motors-official reference, relive the evolution of America’s legendary sports car, year by year, through stunning photography, technical specs, and engaging commentary.
Revealing a legacy of speed and innovation over more than seventy years of continuous production, the Corvette has evolved from its 1953 sporty-car debut to today’s world-class supercar. Its fascinating development story and stellar competition record across eight distinct generations are detailed in The Complete Book of Corvette, spanning:
- The 1953 debut model
- The all-conquering L88 of the 1960s
- The twenty-first century Z06
- The innovative E-Ray hybrid
- The 70th anniversary edition
- The 1,064-horsepower, mid-engine Stingray ZR-1
- Prototypes, racers, Indy pace cars, and limited-edition production models
They’re all here as are the key designers and engineers. Every model year is discussed with insightful text, key technical specifications, and beautiful photography culled from the author’s own images and GM’s photographic archives.
Chevrolet’s Corvette has consistently set the standard for American high performance and ingenuity, and The Complete Book of Corvette is the ultimate reference to that storied history.
"It IS a beautiful book with great photos supplied by GM and professional automotive photographers...what a tome it is. Clocking in at nearly 350 pages and weighs as much as a t-top. It is a must for any Corvette enthusiast.
-- Tony Colombini * Blacktop Magazine *"If ever a book about the amazing, enduring, always-improving Chevrolet Corvette has had ALL the goods on the marque, this one, polished and tuned by Corvetteologist deluxe Mike Mueller is fully-equipped and fully deserving of the sobriquet. Go ahead, pick a page, any page, and dive headlong into this glowing and richly-illustrated history of the most important and most enduring American sports car ever (period)."
