Chevrolet Corvette 1953 - 86 Schiffer Automotive Series

Documented by Walter Zeichner, Hardbound, 93 Pages, ISBN: 9780887401947

1st English language edition, 1989

General Motors lauded this racy two-seater as the only true sports car of America when they introduced it in 1953. In fact, this car ranked among the most fascinating that Detroit had ever offered.

An overview of the wealth of advertising materials and press reports of thirty years, chosen with love and reprinted in this book, makes clear why the Corvette was so successful. For this car was anything but the typical "Detroit Bathtub"—the Corvette was always a car with its own character.

The documents were gathered by Walter Zeichner with the assistance of Kai Jacobsen, to whom we express our particular thanks.
