BOWLING GREEN BRILLIANCE

Welcome to our Corvette Special issue – we’ve tried to include as many Corvettes from as many different eras, but in reality to do the topic justice, we’d really need a telephone directorysized publication, so you might look upon these as our highlights of the marque. It’s an amazing story really, as the Corvette didn’t have a particularly auspicious start, with its lacklustre sales and wheezy six-cylinder engine. In fact, it was almost cancelled; thank goodness it wasn’t, as we wouldn’t be enjoying the remarkable and amazing cars in this month’s edition. While rival American sports car the Ford Thunderbird went off in a very different direction pursuing sales volume and luxury, the Corvette has always stayed true to its unique and inspirational DNA. It was, is and always will be, America’s only sports car.

Also included with this month’s issue is the annual Classic American Glovebox Guide. We created this 12 years ago to provide Classic American readers with an indispensable resource for services related to American vehicle ownership. Whatever it is you’re after, it’s listed in here, from insurance, to shipping, to parts or repairs and servicing – there’ll be a business listed in here for you. And we’ve included the listings in two formats: alphabetically and by service/ business type. Now, how handy is that?!
