Through hundreds of rare and unpublished photos from GM's media and design archives and in-depth text by renowned Corvette historian Randy Leffingwell, Corvette Sixty Years celebrates the first six decades of Americas sports car, covering the revolution and evolution of Americas longest continuously produced nameplate, from Harley Earls initial concept to the latest 60th anniversary edition built to celebrate the Vettes 60th year. Created in cooperation with General Motors, the book focuses as much on the Corvettes place in popular culture as it does on the engineering and design history. This book offers something for everyone who has ever lusted after a Vette. From the inaugural 1953 Corvette to todays stunning sixth-generation car, Corvette Sixty Years touches on all aspects of Chevrolets iconic sports car: history, racing, period ads, posters, memorabilia, key designers like Bill Mitchell, engineers like the fabled Zora Arkus-Duntov, celebrity Vette fans, and more. For Corvette fans, its an ultimate celebration of Americas most famous car.
