Description

"It's a massively useful reference work if you want to compare and contrast dimensions, power outputs, weights, etc., which are presented in tabular form, while there's an appendix that covers the options available each year of the 'Vette's life. The absence of these for-addicts-only intricacies frees up the main text which allows non-fanboys to dive in for a genuinely good read." - Racer.com / Sports Car Club of America 'glossy, beautifully printed, with a knowledgeable and entertaining text from one of America’s most respected automotive authors… There’s no denying, it’s a lot of book for the money. Highly recommended.' 'Every Corvette fan needs this book... high on the gift ideas list for any petrolhead. Recommended.' Mike Mueller has worked as an automotive photojournalist since 1991. A lifetime car enthusiast, Mueller has written and photographed more than 30 automotive and truck history books and contributed photography to at least that many more. His byline has appeared in countless magazines over the years, including Vette and Corvette Fever . Among his long list of titles are Motorbooks’ Chevy Chevelle 50 Years , The Complete Book of Classic Dodge and Plymouth Muscle , Camaro: 50 Years of Chevy Performance , and The Complete Book of Ford Mustang .

Great book!

My Corvette-loving husband got this as a gift. He looks at it almost every day as he sees other Corvettes on the road and identifies the year and info on them. Best gift ever!

I ordered this book as a gift for my son for his birthday. It came promptly and as described. The photographs are beautiful and it has a lot of history and Corvette facts. My son loves it and it makes a beautiful coffee table book.

Needs more relevant photos

This updated version (updated to include the C-7) is very informative with many little tid-bits concerning the Duntov era, but where it falls down is in the discussions of various one-offs and experimental. It includes the stories, anecdotes and personalities, but the omission of photos or at least drawings of many of these cars is very disappointing.
