The world's fascination with the Chevrolet Corvette shows no sign of
letting up, nearly 70 years after its launch. Witness the complete
history of America's original sports car, right up to the
much-buzzed-about mid-engined Stingray supercar released in 2019.
Through hundreds of rare and unpublished photos from GM's media and
design archives, and in-depth analysis from noted Corvette historian
Randy Leffingwell, Corvette: Chevrolet's Supercar celebrates America's
legendary sports car across eight decades. All of the production
models and special editions are included, as are legendary race
versions of the Corvette. Leffingwell leaves no corner unexamined in
his coverage of the entire evolution of America's longest continuously
produced nameplate, from Harley Earl's initial concept to the
latest eighth-generation car.
Officially licensed and created in cooperation with General Motors,
Corvette: Chevrolet's Supercar examines the Corvette's place in
popular culture as well its engineering and design successes. From the
inaugural 1953 model to today's stunning supercar, Leffingwell features
all aspects of the most iconic Chevrolet: history, racing,
period ads, and key designers such as Bill Mitchell, engineers such
as the fabled Zora Arkus-Duntov, celebrity 'Vette fans, and more.
Authoritatively written, beautifully illustrated, and spanning nearly
seven decades, this is the book no Corvette enthusiast will want to
miss--an ultimate history of America's first and foremost sports car.
