Corvette

Description by OLDIES.com:

As America's premier - some would say "only" - sports car, the Corvette has been through several incarnations since its debut in the early 1950s, and each time it has managed to catch the spirit of the age. Corvette tells the full story of America's most exciting performance car from its stylish-if-underpowered introduction to its tire-shredding muscle-era incarnations and finally to today's powerful and balanced sporting weapon. Along the way, the text and photos expertly cover the evolution in style, the increase in power constantly wrung from Chevy's classic V-8 engines, and the Corvette's successful racing history. A comprehensive timeline of each model is also included.

A combination of sheer style, taut handling and brute power, the Corvette defines America's unique interpretation of what makes a sports car. Corvette pays tribute to a legend and is lavishly illustrated with large format, full-color photographs of all the major models. It is the perfect reference book for everyone interested in this classic American sports car.
