Editorial Reviews

Product Description: You will find this to be an essential tool for evaluating and purchasing fine examples of this great American sports car. An unparalleled level of information and data on each Corvette model built between 1953-1967 is provided, as is a basic history of each model that points out strengths and weaknesses. "Garage Watch" offers knockout photography to address various components of each model and explains benefits and detractors. A "Table of Common Parts" will feature 20-30 common replacement parts and their prices. Another great feature contains at least three excerpts from popular magazines on the Corvette. Also, a section includes revealing testimonials from vehicle owners about owning and driving each car; a rating chat provides a quantitative measure of the car's strong and weak points; and a specification table with an abbreviated option list for that particular model.

Just bought my first used Vette and this book certainly contributed to helping in knowing what to look for and having some knowledge ahead of time. I got a much better deal going in being armed with facts!

Great book to get an overview of particular corvette models - and what should be on each car. Also points out potenetial liabilities with each model year. Appendix at end of book is very useful to determine originality of parts/car - as well as a list of available options. Does not have a pricing guide, but does include a price list for common replacement parts. I would recommend this along with a pricing guide to help search for the perfect vette!
Fantastic!!

This is hands-down the finest book ever written on this subject. Anyone who would buy a Corvette from that era without buying this book first is out of his mind.
