Corvette Specs: 1984-1996 Models:
This is an outstanding book. Author Mike Antonick is well-known as the writer of "Corvette Black Book" and "Corvette! The Sensuous American." "Corvette Specs 1984-1996" is another example of his fine work. There is a very interesting forward with Antonick's recollections of the C4's (Corvette, fourth generation) introduction to the press in December, 1982. Chapter 1 presents the conception and development of the car. Subsequent chapters cover each model year with text, photos, and sidebars listing options and paint and interior colors. Antonick includes GM press releases in each chapter. They are good, but I enjoy his observations more. The end of each chapter has voluminous specifications from the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association, which have been edited for accuracy by Antonick and John Amgwert of the National Corvette Restorers Society. "Corvette Specs 1984-1996" shines because of Antonick's enthusiasm and attention to detail. It is easily one of the best Corvette books available.
