Description

This book is the first to offer an up-close view of the process of building the Chevrolet Corvette, America's only sports car. From the rudimentary hand-formed fibreglass bodies in St Louis in the 1950's, to the state-of-the-art production on the modern line today in Bowling Green, the reader is taken through Corvette's evolution as the world's performance benchmark. Detailed archive photography and the latest colour images provide a never-before-seen look at Corvette's throughout their history.
