From the Back Cover:

This is a Corvette book like no other Corvette book. Many celebrate the most powerful and most attractive Corvette models; few list the less famous, the prototypes, and the racers. Licensed with General Motors and illustrated from GM’s design archives, The Complete Book of Corvette showcases in photos, text, and technical specifications all the models since 1953: if it happened, it is here. The Chevrolet Corvette is the most iconic?some would say only?sports car built in America. This lavishly illustrated work details the Corvette’s 50-plus years of continuous production?a rich and varied history unmatched in the automotive world. An exhaustive review of six generations of American high performance, from the first six-cylinder ’Vette of 1953 through today’s fire-breathing, world-beating C6, The Complete Book of Corvette offers an in-depth look at the prototypes and experimental models, the anniversary and pace cars, and the specialty packages for street and competition driving that have made the Corvette a living automotive legend for more than half a century. With extensive details, specifications, and photographic coverage, this book is the ultimate resource on America’s favorite sports car.
