Just visited the store I used to get my Vette magazines at--which I haven't been to in awhile. Before I investigate subscriptions, could someone please tell me what Vette rags are still around. Thank you!

I subscribe to Vette Vues and get Corvette Restorer and Driveline magazines as part of membership in NCRS.

I got Vette and Corvette Fever for years and years but finally just stopped them. Wound up throwing them out without reading them a good amount of the time. There's too much good reading material online now to bother with hard copy.

Corvette Fever magazine is now gone and has been folded into Vette magazine. The wonderful Corvette Enthusiast magazine was stopped at the same time that Corvette Fever magazine bit the dust. Lou.

Vette magazine is mostly about the new cars, they do try to have a c3 article most every month though.

There is 'Vette' magazine and 'Corvette Magazine', I still believe you can get Vette Vues too.

When I got my Z06 new I also got a couple of issues of GM's Corvette corporate magazine, gratis. Don't remember what it was called. Then GM went bankrupt and that was that. I have no idea if GM resumed publication.

I look at them at bookstore, don't buy, but for real info I go to my old "in the day" mags and read those articles. note: some of today's articles on c2/c3 are reprints/copies of "in the day" stuff or rewritten using old stuff as source in my opinion.

There was a gentleman that offered 30+ years of various Corvette magazines for free. I thought I was crazy for driving a state or two over to retrieve them. There is a lot of good info on the older Vette's in them! Plus I am having a great time reading all the articles about the older cars at the time they came out.

I only get Corvette Magazine. I tried the others, but I find the technical advice, articles, and photographs far better in Corvette Magazine.

On the newsstand Vette and Corvette Magazine are about it.
Lots of the articles wind up on line at their respective websites.
This forum is probably one of the best sources for specific help.

Plenty of Porsche Magazines though at least 5.

Chevrolet's magazine was called Corvette News. They ended up selling it to someone and they changed the name. I can't remember what it was called. It only lasted a couple years and then it was gone. There was a Canadian printed C-3 only magazine called Shark Quarterly. I have never seen one. This was before the internet was going good. I never could find out how to subscribe to it. I would love to buy copies of them. Lou.
