Corvette Stingray

The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray was declared CAR OF THE YEAR at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this week. Over sixty years of constant refinement led up to that moment of triumph. In Corvette Stingray, The Seventh Generation of America's Sports Car, Larry Edsall details the Corvette's evolution from 6-cylinder boulevard cruiser to street racer to Le Mans winner to world-class sports car.

 

For the book, GM granted Edsall exclusive access to engineers, designers, and other Corvette team members, as well as its own photographic archives, to create the complete inside story of this top-notch sports car.  

 

Let's take a look at how the Corvette was revealed to the world in 1953.

Dear ASD,

No matter what their age, who isn't fascinated by a firetruck?
The American Fire Engine
Our latest release, The American Fire Engine is a stunning tribute to fire fighters and to the fire apparatus of the last 200 years, with special emphasis on the classic automotive engines, trucks, and ladder rigs of the 1920s, '30s, '40s, and '50s.  All the legendary names of yesterday and today - Ahrens-Fox, American LaFrance, Emergency One, Mack, Pirsch, Seagrave, Van Pelt - speed off the pages, sirens screaming in more than 150 stunning color photographs.  Also included are vintage advertisements and dozens of original black-and-white photos.
