CORVETTE
NEWHARDT, DAVID
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
For 60 years, the Chevrolet Corvette, arguably one of the most recognized sports cars in the world, has been the
American sports car, an icon of American horsepower and performance. The list of the car's accomplishments
both on and off track is legendary. Chevrolet has never built an ordinary Corvette. Even the most mundane
coupe draws a crowd everywhere it goes. The Corvette is one of the longest continually produced sports cars in
existence. With a performance heritage stretching back six decades, the Corvette has been offered in numerous
specialty packages for both street and competition use, many of which now rank among the world's most
valuable collector cars. Award-winning author and photographer David Newhardt tells the full story of these
legendary machines in 300-plus photos of 50 potent Corvettes, from the original 1953 roadsters right up to the
high-performance, high-tech beasts Chevrolet builds today, like the supercharged ZR-1, one of the fastest cars
ever built for use on public roads. With hundreds of photos and concise, entertaining profiles, this is a book for
every Corvette enthusiast.
