Default Looking Back

A recent thread got me looking through my 50 year collection of books and magazines and I thought I'd scan and post a couple of interesting ones I came across. There are so many more but my scanner is very slow as am I so here are a few that are seldom seen or published.

Those are great. I loved the bumper on the Grand Sport and the SS rear end shot. Extremely cool.

Default Cool, thanks for sharing!

What actually got me collecting photo's other than attending events and shooting them myself, was that every darn Corvette book for at least a decade or more used the same boring press photos! And even the car magazines would get lazy and at times, do the same!
