Noland Adams is a well known author and Corvette historian whose works include Corvette, American Legend covering five volumes: The Beginning, about original dream car prototype and 1953 production, and the follow-up series, 1954-1955 Production, 1956 Racing Success, 1957 Fuel Injection / 283 V-8, and 1958-1960 Production.
In this fourth installment of the series, the author covers the Corvette's fifth year of production in great detail and offers an extraordinary collection of unpublished photographs featuring the 1957 model year of this car.
Corvette's 240-horsepower engine propelled it to greatness. But the 1957 model year's fuel-injection and four-speed transmission made it super special. This kind of performance eliminated any doubt about the Corvette's performance credibility.
