This review is from: Corvette, 1953-1962 (Sports car color history) (Paperback)

If "America's Sports Car" is the kind of vehicle that revs your motor, then this book is the one for you. Jam-packed with historical and technical information and loaded with beautiful photos, many by the author himself, this book will provide hours of reading pleasure. Mr. Mueller has a writing style that avoids putting the reader to sleep during the more technical passages. It is evident that he loves his subject. This book will reignite readers' fondness for Chevy's fiberglass road-rocket as well as fill in any gaps in historical knowledge of the car. If you want to expand your Corvette reference library, or get a first book to introduce you to the marque, this one's a must.
