The Corvette Factories by Mike Mueller, A Review
Mike Mueller is one of the most prolific Corvette authors today. He has dozens of Corvette and other car books to his credit. In 2008 Mike started work on his latest Corvette book, “The Corvette Factories – Building America’s Sports Car” published by Motorbooks International (ISBN 978-0-7603-3551-2) Mike takes you on a factory tour from ‘53 to today.
This book is beautifully designed and the photos are a treat. You’ll be familiar with some of the images, but most are new to the public. There are pictures of the mahogany bucks for the first fiberglass bodies that were pure art. You also get the sense of how much hand labor goes into building a Corvette, or any other car for that matter. Think it’s easy work on an assembly line building cars? Think again.
