Book Description
Corvette is an icon. For most of its history it was built in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The author, a forty-one year veteran of GM, spent twenty-four years working in various engineering and management positions from facilities to quality where he retired as Quality Assurance Manager. Never before has a comprehensive history been written of the place where Corvettes are assembled. The title reflects what took place in the Bowling Green Assembly Plant. One high level manager often referred to Building the Dream, and essentially the plant built hundreds of thousands of dreams over the years. The text contains philosophical, historical, methodical, biographical and some fictional information to provoke thought. The genre of each is intermingled so as to never bore the reader. Many names are mentioned. Mini-biographies are included for the most unique regardless of job level. They all were part of building the dream, and the assembler was as necessary as the manager. Venture now into the place were dreams are built!

Book Description
America's original—and long considered its best—sports car, the Chevrolet Corvette is fast, sexy, sleek, sublime. The legacy of the Corvette is matched only by its beauty, captured here like never before. Art of the Corvette profiles two dozen Corvettes from all seven generations, beginning with the first 1953 Blue Flame Six Corvette and concluding with the return of an icon, the stunning 2014 Corvette Stingray. Using a unique style of portraiture known as light-painting, acclaimed photographers Randy Leffingwell and Tom Loeser present the most recognizable, unique, and historic Corvettes ever produced. From the chrome-lined grilles of the 1953 Roadster and sexy curves of the first C3s to the aggressive snarl of the 2012 ZR1 and the bold, blunt powerhouse of the 2014 Corvette Stingray, all are presented in breathtaking color and detail. Rare and one-off cars abound as well, like the 1963 Z06 Sting Ray and one of only a handful of 1967 L88 convertibles. With an authoritative text by Leffingwell, one of the world's leading Corvette historians, and over 200 stunning photographs, Art of the Corvette presents this landmark of American automotive engineering and design, the Chevrolet Corvette, as never before seen. Some of the vehicles you'll find inside include: 1953 Corvette – 1963 Sting Ray Z06 coupe – 1966 Sting Ray L72 coupe – 1969 L71 convertible – 1978 Indy Pace Car – 1989 convertible – 1996 Grand Sport coupe – 2003 50th anniversary convertible – 2012 ZR1 coupe – 2014 C7 Stingray coupe

Book Description
Corvette:1963 to 1967 reveals many events in the manufacture of the 1963 - 1967 Corvette that the author took from his personal files. The author presents his personal experience working in the Chevrolet St. Louis Assembly Plant and as liaison between Chevrolet St. Louis and A. O. Smith in Ionia, Michigan, where the Corvette bodies were outsourced. The 1963 Corvette launch in the fall of 1962 was a challenge. I was there as a Quality Analyst to witness and document the launch. My book presents an insight not documented elsewhere. I was trained as a mathematician, so the book is written in a no frills language keeping the text under control.
