Corvette C 2 tells the story about the creation of the 1963 Model Corvette that has become the icon of the Corvette line. This model Corvette was released and manufactured in record time, about two years. This book provides the reader with
much of the detail that took place in the early 1960’s to make this happen. Enthusiasts who enjoy reading about the automobile industry and especially the Corvette will, I believe, enjoy
learning about the creation of this iconic automobile.
