Author Description

Show cars were all the rage in the early 1950s particularly at General Motors but few of these eye-opening exercises ever made it to production. The Corvette was a history-making exception. The Motorama concept car that enthralled audiences in 1953 not only found its way into the showroom, but arrived virtually unaltered. An auspicious start. How this stunning study in fiberglass would evolve through six generations and achieve worldwide fame is depicted vividly and meticulously in Corvette, America's Sports Car. This book features original factory photos, exclusive shots of pristine collector cars, plus rare, seldom-seen images of engine cutaways, one-off concept cars, Callaways and other factory-approved variant 'Vettes, and design-studio sketches and clays.
