The Corvette Factories: Building America's Sports Car Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a Corvette nut. I love everything about the Corvette. This book gives great insight to how the Corvette came into being and how they were made. I've always been fascinated by car assembly plants and how they can turn out so many cars in a relatively short period of time. Now you can see pictures and read comments by the people that were on the line. From the beginning in 1953 to today's Bowling Green Assembly Plant. You'll be fascinated at how these cars come together.
The author also gives some great information about the different generations of Corvette. It's not just about the factories and the assembly lines.
I highly recommend this book.

In its nearly six decades, Chevrolet\'s Corvette--America\'s only sportscar--has been produced in just three factories, first in St. Louis and now in Bowling Green. This book is the first to offer an up-close view of the process of building an automotive legend. From the rudimentary hand-formed fiberglass bodies in the St. Louis factory, to the state of the art production on the modern line in Bowling Green, The Corvette Factories takes readers through the story of the Corvette\'s evolution as the world\'s performance benchmark. Detailed archival photographs and the latest images provide a unique behind-the-scenes look at the Corvette as an exemplar of General Motors\' most advanced technology. Indispensable to Corvette fans and sportscar aficionados, this volume is also a critical chapter of automotive history.

Mike Yager's Corvette Bible Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a devotee and owner of Corvettes, I had hoped that Mr. Yager's Corvette Bible would be as thorough and detailed as it's name suggests. It isn't. Not only does Mr. Yager (who is involved with one of the largest aftermarket parts retailers in the Corvette world) give incomplete and rather basic information concerning each model year's Corvette, but it seems as if the book's editor utterly failed to actually EDIT the book - there are numerous factual and typographic errors in the book that detract from what is otherwise a decent layout. If an author is claiming to be publishing a "Bible" on a topic, then it needs to be an accurate, detailed, information-rich book. This book is more appropriately titled "Corvette Cliffnotes for the Newbie." While it is nice information for the untrained Corvette-wannabe, it is sorely lacking in the detail necessary to satisfy the true lover of all things Corvette.
