There have been many Corvette books written over the years. Many people have tackled this subject from every angle. And Noland Adams has been one of them.

As book states, Noland has "40-plus years of experience as an owner, restorer, and historian of the Corvette. His first two books, Corvette Restoration & Technical Guide, Volume I: 1953-1962 and Volume II: 1963-1967 are the 'bibles' of Corvette Restoration." His newest book is ANOTHER feather in his cap.

Previously reviewed in the pages of this publication were the first three volumes in the series of photo essays. Volume 1 (SAH Journal No. 171) covered only the first model year of this American legend. Volume 2 (SAH Journal No. 173) moved on to the 1954 and 1955 models. Volume 3 (SAH Journal No. 176) expounded upon the redesign of the Corvette for the 1956 model year. Now we have Volume 4.

This edition brings the Corvette into the fuel-injected era. "One horsepower per cubic inch" was the claim as the 283cid V8 with fuel injection generated an advertised 283hp. It's all about the power.

This book demonstrates a historian in action. Page after page of rare period photographs of Corvettes. Pictures of cars being built. Pictures of cars being designed. Pictures of cars being raced. It is the Corvette enthusiasts dream. This book is for lovers of automotive history in all its levels.

Noland Adams has devoted over 1,000 pages to rare pictures of just five production years of one model. Each edition seems to stay fresh and interesting. You would think this would seem redundant, book after book, but it doesn't. Amazing work and an amazing series of books.
