SPORTS CARS ILLUSTRATED 1959 MAR - VETTES, SADLER

 

This hard to find magazine became Car & Driver in 1961 and is listed as Vol.  5, No. 9.  Somehow SCI got their numbering system off because this issue is actually Vol. 4, No. 9.  It took them almost a year to catch their mistake.

 

The cover pictures are of Vette powered Sadler Mk 2 & Scarab with a '57 Vette. 

 

Within this issue you will discover the following topics:

1) A tribute to the Chevrolet Brothers

2) Testing the '59 Corvette 283 FI

3) Checking out the Bill Mitchell custom Corvette
