Download or read book Corvette Stingray written by Larry Edsall and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Corvette enthusiast, there is no greater source of speculation, pent-up excitement, and anticipation than the pending introduction of a new-generation 'Vette. Since unveiling the original American sports car in 1953, GM has upped the ante with each successive model and along the way, the Corvette has evolved from 6-cylinder boulevard cruiser to street racer to Le Mans winner to world-class sports car. Sixty years of constant refinement have ensured that the next-generation Corvette will give its global competitors a strong run for their money. For the making of Corvette Stingray: The Seventh Generation of America's Sports Car, GM granted author Larry Edsall exclusive access to engineers, designers, and other Corvette team members, as well as its own photographic archives, to create the complete inside story of this top-notch sports car. The seventh-generation Corvette (C7) again raises the bar, not only for outright performance but also for performance-for-dollar. Capable of running with - and in many cases outclassing - the likes of Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, and other European legends, Chevy's newest Corvette delivers the goods with a new look and even more performance technology. With more than 300 historical and behind-the-scenes photographs that take you as close to the car as you can get without sitting behind the wheel, Corvette Stingray is a must-own book for any serious gearhead--whether you're a long-time 'Vette junkie, a sports car devotee, or simply an admirer of beautiful machines.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to Automobile Heritage, Culture, and Preservation by : Barry L. Stiefel
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Automobile Heritage, Culture, and Preservation written by Barry L. Stiefel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Automobile Heritage, Culture, and Preservation explores automotive heritage, its place in society, and the ways we might preserve and conserve it. Drawing on contributions from academics and practitioners around the world and comprising six sections, this volume carries the heritage discourse forward by exploring the complex and sometimes intricate place of automobiles within society. Taken as a whole, this book helps to shape how we think about automobile heritage and considers how that heritage explores a range of cultural, intellectual, emotional, and material elements well outside of the automobile body itself. Most importantly, perhaps, it questions how we might better acknowledge the importance of automotive heritage now and in the future. The Routledge Companion to Automobile Heritage, Culture, and Preservation is unique in that it juxtaposes theory with practice, academic approaches with practical experience, and recognizes that issues of preservation and conservation belong in a broad context. As such, this volume should be essential reading for both academics and practitioners with an interest in automobiles, cultural heritage, and preservation.

Since the release of the first Corvette in 1953, Chevrolet’s flagship sports car has become a timeless part of American culture and a household name across the globe. No matter the model or year, one can instantly pick out a ’Vette—from the four chrome-ringed headlamps of the late-1950s models to the sharp edges of the 1960s Sting Ray, the signature curved wheel-well moldings on 1970s bodies, and up to the aggressive aerodynamics of the Corvette C6. But while all are undeniably beautiful machines, none approach the astonishing technology packed into Chevrolet’s latest: the seventh-generation 2014 Corvette Stingray, which marks the historic resurgence of the Stingray badge for the first time since the mid-1970s. In The Complete Book of Corvette, American automotive expert Mike Mueller details all of the generations, offering the definitive, all-encompassing volume showcasing over 60 years of Corvette history. Created in cooperation with General Motors and illustrated with 500 color and black-and-white photos from GM’s exclusive Design and Media Archives, the book highlights the development, tech specs, and visual prowess of the entire Corvette line. From that first 1953 ’Vette to the brand-new 2014 Corvette Stingray—the triumphant culmination of Chevrolet’s longstanding sports car expertise—The Complete Book of Corvette pays tribute to one of America’s proudest sports car traditions and the innovative company behind it.
Download or read book Sixty-six written by Barry Levinson and published by Broadway. This book was released on 2003 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Baltimore, 1966, a quiet Eastern city of row houses, blue-collar neighborhoods, and burgeoning suburbs, a place as yet untouched by the upheavals of 1960's America. A place where everything is about to change. What was once so simple now seems complicated. Delicatessens that served delicious slabs of pastrami are now serving sprouts. Song lyrics are angry and raw. Acid is being dropped and the normal life paths--school, marriage, a safe career--seem irrelevant. Or, worse, boring. Even friendship is more complicated. As society's shifts begin to take hold, the people at the heart of "Sixty-Six know they have something to hold on to: each other . . . Bobby Shine, an intern at the local television station; the soulful and rebellious Neil; Ben Kallin, the "King of the Teenagers"; Turko and Eggy, comic philosophers extraordinaire. They spend their time together hanging out at the Hilltop Diner, wisecracking, coping, falling in and out of love, planning for a glorious future. As the decade explodes, however, these young people are caught between the staid and traditional values of the fifties, and the confusion, turbulence, and exhilaration of the sixties. As the fighting in Vietnam escalates and the antiwar movement at home reaches fever pitch, their insular world will be rocked by violence and tragedy. As the growing Civil Rights movement sweeps across the country, they will see the best and worst of their parents' generation. And as the hippie movement rockets across the cultural landscape, they will both embrace and be torn apart by the new freedoms afforded them. Together, they will have to confront as bewildering and wrenching a set of transformations asAmerica has ever faced_--and each one of them will leave 1966 changed forever. Barry Levinson has moved us with such superb films as "Rain Man, "Good Morning, Vietnam, "The Natural, and, of course, the much-loved "Diner. With the same humor, depth of insight, affection for his characters, and glorious dialogue that make his movies so memorable, Levinson has written a first novel of enormous heart, a book that takes us back to a time in our history when everything was at stake and nothing would ever be the same.

Book Synopsis Fifty Years of the Corvette Grand Sport by : Alan Sevadjian
Download or read book Fifty Years of the Corvette Grand Sport written by Alan Sevadjian and published by . This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The full story of the Corvette Grand Sport told in this book reaches almost 100 years of automotive history. The author played an important part of it for sixty of those years. In 1953 Chevrolet introduced the Corvette to make inroads with the youth market that had been favoring Ford. Shortly thereafter, Zora Duntov joined Chevrolet and quickly became a leader of its fledgling performance push. By 1957 the Chevrolet division had closed the gap to Ford with younger consumers, but GM's brass abruptly cut GM's involvement in racing and dialed back the marketing of high-performance cars. Despite official policy, in 1963 a new generation Corvette emerged with Zora Duntov as its chief architect. Duntov supplied private teams with the hardware to continue Corvette domination in road racing, but Carroll Shelby had just introduced the Ford-powered Cobra. The Cobra was a thousand pounds lighter than the new Corvette and easily dominated. Duntov countered by putting together a team to build special lightweight Corvettes that would weigh even less than the Cobras. They were called Grand Sports, and Duntov's team built five of a planned 125 cars before the GM board ordered production halted and the cars destroyed. Duntov hid two cars and shipped three to Texas oilman John Mecom, who resold them to fellow Texas racers Delmo Johnson and Jim Hall, and the author, Alan Sevadjian. The new owners continued to race their Grand Sports until they were no longer competitive. During the next forty years, Alan built and raced Corvettes. In 2004, he was approached by a local businessman who asked him to make a clone of the Grand Sport Alan owned and raced in the 60s. Since Chevrolet owned the trademarked name "Grand Sport," Alan called his new car a "Duntov Lightweight," and trademarked that name. This did not go unnoticed by the lawyers at General Motors, but fortunately for Alan, the head of the GM legal team was a racing fan who had met Alan and thought it wise to introduce the Grand Sport to a new generation. Instead of suing Alan for trademark infringement, he offered Alan a GM license to continue the original production run of 125 cars. For ten years Alan built and raced the continuation Corvette Grand Sports. The story of this car and its reincarnation is captured in this book with more than 450 pictures that span ninety-six years of automotive history.

Download or read book Sixty Years in Battle with the Power of the Devil and Still Counting written by Glenn Meredith Taylor and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have written my life story in every detail from a six-foot-by-nine-foot prison cell... I have felt as if I am dissecting a frog in biology class in high school. Many things stand out. Many things are uncovered that have been buried for years. My strengths, my faults, my failures, my desires, my selfishness, and my sinfulness all coming to light, not just to the reader but to myself. Glenn Taylor has had a lot of time to think about the life choices he has made and the consequences of his actions. From behind the bars of a prison floor, he chose to relive those memories with pencil and paper to better understand human nature. From physical abuse to being a crossing guard, from stealing car parts to hanging out at the drive-in, Glenn's childhood was saturated in emotional turmoil. While growing up he found happiness in women, disco dancing, and drag racing, then went on to be a successful bricklayer and nightclub owner. But still something was missing from his life. Sixty Years in Battle with the Power of the Devil and Still Counting: Part One recounts Glenn's life from his formative years as the youngest of six through his second marriage to his true love, Phyllis. Through this memoir, Glenn discovered that the devil is always battling with us, and sometimes it seems as though he is winning. But the war is not yet over. By God's grace we all have the chance to let him take control of our lives and fight the power of evil for us. Pain and sadness can be accompanied by joy and love if we only allow God to bring it into our lives.
