"CORVETTE fifty years" by Leffingwell
Got the book yesterday at costco for $29. It sold for $50 5 months ago. Anyway, I am so so so disappointed with the GS section. This is the second vette book that I have that does not show the car how it was produced.
Chrome rims, blue inserts, aftermarket exhaust and a roll cage all look fine on the car but at least include in the book the way the car came from the factory. I bet Leffingwell would have had 500 GS owners cramming to get their original GS vert or coupe in the book. :rant:

Got this book at the 50th and had it autographed by him. When I sugested his photos of the GS would have been better with the black factory A molds, he said that the chrome ones were a factory option :eek: :eek: Too bad I had already purchased the book or I would have walked out. As it is I have never opened the book since then even though its about 6 feet away from my computer. A $50.00 lesson :mad

It's interesting that there was no definitive 50th Anniversary book - many nice tries, but nothing that completely outclasses the rest.

J3 Studio: True, good point.
Beautiful Beast: Also true.
Grand Sport #357: Figures. Suprisingly the book says it is the "Official Anniversary Book" sanctioned by GM.
Thank you Laughingwell.
