Library Journal

For 50 years, the iconic Corvette has reigned as America's only sports car. In fact, it is one of the few nameplates from the 1950s that is still around today. To celebrate the Corvette's anniversary, the publisher enlisted auto historian Leffingwell, who does justice to the subject with a book officially licensed by General Motors. Proceeding in intervals by decade, the book moves through the history of the Corvette from its humble beginnings in 1953, when it sold only 300 copies, to the present day, when it sells tens of thousands and beyond. Although the history is notable, it is the photography that sets this book apart. Of the highest quality in size and reproduction, Leffingwell's more than 400 color images show the various production models, but many custom and one-off body styles are represented as well. Highly recommended.-Eric C. Shoaf, Brown Univ. Lib., Providence, RI Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.
