From the Back Cover:

This is a Corvette book like no other Corvette book. Many books celebrate the most powerful and most attractive Corvette models, but only The Complete Book of Corvette details every model, including prototypes and factory racers.

Chevrolet’s Corvette is the most iconic sports car built in America. This lavishly illustrated work details the Corvette’s six decades of continuous production—a rich and varied history nearly 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 an automobile legend for nearly 60 years.
