This book would have to be the mammas of corvette books, if you breathe eat and sleep corvettes are all around you and that pertains to this book aswell in which no other book comes even close to having everything in it. This book covers everything of the iconic machines, history, racing, and restoration, in high performance driving experience of engineering, in technical innovations in which is what you want to know about in this book which is not a disappointment for certain. because You will be swept away in a magical ride of what can only be total fantasy come to life starting from its creation as a dream in 1953 right up until the 2006 sleek high performance model. To describe this book as large coffee tableformat book would not do it justice because it takes up the entire coffee table. Instead what would do it justice would be to write that The photographs and illustrations are spectacular technical in defining the absurdly perfect. It's an exhaustive review of a car that has become a legend in America and all over the world, from its inception of the first 6cylinder Vette in 1953 right through to the fire breathing world beating C6. A complete list of prototypes and experimental models to the famous pace cars and the ever admired specialty street and competition racing have made the Corvette a living automotive legend for more than half a century. There are a vast array of Corvette books on the market in the world that celebrate the most powerful and most attractive sassy models,of all and few list the lesser famous, prototypes,or racers. This book leaves nothing out, in that it showcases photos, text, and technical specifications of all the models since 1953 if it happened they have it in this book nothing is left out. The Corvette in the end is America's most iconic car and this book plays tribute to all of it who have participated in creating a legend that is the car.

For the past 10 years my husband keeps saying how much he wants a corvette. As much as I would love to surprise him with a corvette we simply can't afford it! Christmas 2009 I decided to find something to support his dream and I found this book on Amazon. HE LOVED IT. He can't put it down. In October, I will try to rent one so at least he can drive a corvette for his birthday weekend but the book was a GREAT start.
