The Corvette:America's Supercar-Buyer Beware-two different covers and ISBN no Updates
I have the 1990 HardcoverISBN-10:0894718304 from Courage books of "Corvette:America's Supercar" by Terry Jackson,it has the rear of a Red ZR-1/LT5 rear fascia closeup shot on the cover,I also have the 1996 Book ISBN-10: 1573355151 which is a different cover,blue,front interior of a midyear Sting Ray and Has Corvette Indy Concept Silver version and a 56-57 Body Style on cover by Shooting Star Press,same Amount of Pages Different ISBN.Aside from some typos such as a 84'LT-1 in a comparison to another car and a typo for The CERVII-the car in The Picture is Actually a CORVETTE GS-II.And some misspellings,the book is a good read with some great color photography,especially of The Astro I Corvette and XP880 AND XP882/AeroVette/FourRotor/4Rotor midengine concept cars,there is mention of the XP819 but no Photo,This is covered in a Chapter dedicated to such Beautiful Concept Corvettes,the book only covers up to the 1990 ZR-1 and has small comparison boxes with price and performance of then competitors,I have seen there is a 1996 Version of the book with same amount of pages and different name of a publisher and if it is revised with newer models I will look into it and add it.Overall very nicely done makes it worth adding to one's collection.
