Q & A

Q. I'm thinking of buying a used Chevrolet Corvette (can't afford a new one) and would like to read a comprehensive no-frills earlier history of this colorful car. Any suggestions? -- E.A. (via Internet)

A. Definitely get a copy of the new edition of veteran auto writer Karl Ludvigsen's "Corvette--America's Star-Spangled Sports Car--The Complete History 1953-1982." It's much bigger in size and content than the original 1973 edition. It's got a whopping 784 pages, with full color throughout. The book is from Bentley Publishers (www.BentleyPublishers.com).
