Iconic Cars: Corvette

This fully illustrated volume explores the evolution of this classic American sports car from the original 1950s models to today’s Corvette Stingray.

The Chevrolet Corvette is a treasured American icon and one of the world’s most popular sports cars. The experts at Car and Driver, who have tested nearly every version of this sleek machine, now offer a curated selection of articles, reviews, and news—featuring 81 color photographs—from more than 50 years of Corvette history.

You’ll ride shotgun with Brock Yates on a 4,000-mile road trip to that “wilderness boulevard of dreamers and fortune hunters and runaways and outcasts—the Alaska Highway. ” You’ll meet Zora Arcus-Duntov, the engineer most closely associated with the distinctive designs of the early ’60s Stingrays, and learn about “dead-end ’Vettes”—showcars with startling innovations that wound up ignored and discarded.
