Corvette
More than just a nameplate, more than just an eye-catching design, the Corvette is a uniquely American icon, representing freedom, style, speed, and fun. And how it became one of the world's most popular sports cars — as well as the longest-running nameplate in Chevrolet history — is a fascinating story that combines politics, passion, performance, and design. This lavishly illustrated, deluxe book — as stylish as the car itself — tells that story. Corvette documents the car's history through exclusive interviews with the risk-taking engineers and designers who defied conventional thinking to create an American archetype, while more than 200 color and 1,000 black-and-white photographs — including many never-before-published photos from General Motors' archives — portray each and every model in loving detail. The book explores the Corvette not just in terms of its impact on the auto world, but its impact on people and pop culture all around the world.
