CORVETTE: AMERICA'S SPORTS CAR

by Randy Leffingwell

Published by Motorbooks International. 1st USA. 1997

Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. This book chronicles the history of the Corvette, from the earliest first-generation solid-axle Corvettes, to the latest fifth-generation C5. Almost square format. Red cloth boards, white title to spine. Colour photos. 192 pages including index.

Pages 49-54 are miscut (publishing error), which means a little bit extra has been left on these page edges, with some creasing. Dustwrapper is covered in clear film, stuck to verso of wrapper, also stuck with sticky tape to pastedowns. Spine of dustwrapper is a little faded.
