"...tells the story of America's premier sportscar, from its earliest days, when neither manufacturers nor buyers were sure that this new name was going to survive, through the early racing days, and on to the maturity of the Corvette as one of the last of the all-time classic sports-racers. it deals with the constant conflicts between the stylists -- who wanted to build the most beautiful sportcar they could -- and the engineers -- where were more concerned with details such as handling, aerodynamics and even passenger space. Every aspect of the car is touched on, from the way glass reinforced plastic was chosen for the body, to the ways in which more and more power was constantly wrung from the engines." Profusely illustrated with full color photography of this classic car. This book is a MUST HAVE for any Corvette owner or collector. 112 pp. Pages are clean, tight, unmarked & uncreased.
