Most Useful/Informative Corvette Catalogue?
And not the sweatshirt/keyfob type; just plain old Corvette parts. I would say Dr. Rebuild still sets the pace. Not glitzy but just full of information. But Paragon's arrived today. Pretty impressive!

Re: Most Useful/Informative Corvette Catalogue? (paul79)
Not that I'm some sort of catalog junkie, but I love to look through all of them to compare prices and figure out what's available in case something breaks. Eckler's has a good one, so does Zip. Chicago Corvette has a catalog that is great for original parts. MidAmerica, Paragon, Paddock, Corvette Central, and VolVette are others I get. VBandP and VanSteel are good for suspension reference. Bottom line- get 'em all and dream away :sleep: :cheers:

Re: Most Useful/Informative Corvette Catalogue? (BlueL36)
I agree, Paragon puts out a great catalog. They have nice photographs and the catalog is full of useful "tips" :) My pet peeve tho, is mistakes in catalogs. I know it is impossible to put out a catalog of several 100 pages with thousands of parts and not have any errors, but I went nuts when I saw the catalog picture of 68-72 "corvette" rear letters did not look like the letters on my 68! I thought somebody had bubba'd my car! :mad: Then I discovered the catalog had the wrong picture! never mind! :) (That mistake was NOT in the Paragon catalog) MJ

Dr. Rebuild's is pretty sweet. I keep all the older catalogues in the garage, and I use them for reference. I hate to say it, but they are often times a better reference than Haynes or Chilton.
