Summary:
Witness the complete history of America's original sports car, right up to the much-buzzed-about eighth generation Stingray supercar released in late 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 Through hundreds of rare and unpublished photos from GM's media and design archives, and in-depth analysis from noted Corvette historian Randy Leffingwell, Corvette: Chevrolet's Supercar celebrates an American legend across eight decades. Leffingwell covers the entire evolution, from Harley Earl's initial concept to the latest eighth-generation car. Created in cooperation with General Motors, Corvette: Chevrolet's Supercar also examines the Corvette's place in popular culture. In fact, from the inaugural 1953 model to today's stunning car, Leffingwell covers all aspects of the most iconic Chevrolet: history, racing, period ads, posters, memorabilia, key designers, engineers such as the fabled Zora Arkus-Duntov, celebrity 'Vette fans, and more. Authoritatively written, beautifully illustrated, and spanning nearly 70 years, this is the book no Corvette enthusiast will want to miss.
