Revealing a legacy of speed and innovation over more than seventy years of continuous production, the Corvette has evolved from its 1953 sporty-car debut to today's world-class supercar. Its fascinating development story and stellar competition record across eight distinct generations are detailed in The Complete Book of Corvette, spanning:

They're all here as are the key designers and engineers. Every model year is discussed with insightful text, key technical specifications, and beautiful photography culled from the author's own images and GM's photographic archives.
 
Chevrolet's Corvette has consistently set the standard for American high performance and ingenuity, and The Complete Book of Corvette is the ultimate reference to that storied history.

About the Author :
Mike Mueller has worked as an automotive photojournalist since 1987. 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.

Review :

"It IS a beautiful book with great photos supplied by GM and professional automotive photographers...what a tome it is. Clocking in at nearly 350 pages and weighs as much as a t-top. It is a must for any Corvette enthusiast.

"If ever a book about the amazing, enduring, always-improving Chevrolet Corvette has had ALL the goods on the marque, this one, polished and tuned by Corvetteologist deluxe Mike Mueller is fully-equipped and fully deserving of the sobriquet. Go ahead, pick a page, any page, and dive headlong into this glowing and richly-illustrated history of the most important and most enduring American sports car ever (period)."
