Overview
In the 51 years that the Corvette has been part of the American automotive backdrop, hundreds of people, places and innovations have touched America's favorite sports car. In the Corvette Illustrated Encyclopedia, Tom Benford has surveyed five decades of the Corvette and compiled an essential reference work for all who have ever had either a passing or a passionate interest in Chevrolet's flagship. Arkus-Duntov, Earl, Hall, Mitchell, Thompson -- who are these men and how did they effect the development or history of the Corvette? Warren, St. Louis, Bowling Green, Le Mans, Sebring, Elkhart Lake -- what significance do these locations have for the Corvette and what do they mean to current enthusiasts? Posi, bolt-ons, breadloaf -- out of context, these terms mean virtually nothing. But in this invaluable automotive reference book, Tom Benford puts all of these terms into perspective. Tom Benford's Corvette Illustrated Encyclopedia gives a detailed look at the terms and names that mean so much to Corvette history. Learn to interpret the numbers and slang that have such significance to Corvette owners and enthusiasts today.Book Details
