COVER: Corvettes have a woven place in so many American's hearts that we decided to devote several features to America's sports car. Take a ride with us as we chronicle the early Corvettes to the brand-new and hi-tech '99 convertible. Of course we still cover all aspects of the hobby and cars like the featured '29 Duesenberg Model J Murphy Sports Sedan. Corvette photos by Louise Ann Noeth. Duesenberg photo by Dennis Adler.
