Chevrolet's Corvette is the most iconic-some would say only-sports car built in America. This lavishly illustrated work conducts readers through the Corvettes fifty-plus years of continuous production-a rich and varied history unmatched in the automotive world. An exhaustive review of six generations of American high performance, from the first 6-cylinder Vette of 1953 through today's fire-breathing, world-beating C6, The Complete Book of Corvette offers an in-depth look at the prototypes and experimental models, the anniversary and pace cars, and the specialty packages for street and competition driving that have made the Corvette a living automotive legend for more than half a century. With extensive details, specs, and photographic coverage, this book is the ultimate resource on Americas sports car. Officially licensed with Chevrolet and including photos - many never-before-published - from the car maker's archives.
