Corvette SS at Sebring, 1957

Before reading Karl Ludvigsen’s book, Corvette, America’s Star Spangled Sports Car, I had dismissed the Corvette SS as mostly a styling exercise. No so.

Dean’s Garage Book Praise
  • Book is excellent reading. I like all the practical jokes that you played on each other. Haven’t put it down yet.

    Paul Alflen
  • Gary, Just received your book and read part of it, and can’t wait to finish it! EXCELLENT BOOK WOW! Thanks!

    Carl Kofron
  • It’s a book whose pages you’ll return to again and again…sometimes just to look, other times to read and learn and to laugh!

    Helen Hutchings
  • It brought back so many memories. The book captures some of the antics that took place. I recommend Gary’s book for anyone that has an interest to get a glimpse of an era long gone.

    John Manoogian II
  • Very impressed with the emphasis on the “people stories.” Most people think of GM in terms of the cars, whereas you focused on the designers that created the cars. Congratulations on your excellent and personable narrative.

    Roy Lonberger
  • Great book! It will provide many hours of interesting reading. Thank you for writing and publishing it!

    Charles Pieier
  • All the wonderful anecdotes and photos bring laughter and smiles of recollection of the years at GM Design. The other content is equally entertaining, too! One can keep returning to its pages, finding a new topic of interest each time.
