On the 1957 auto show circuit Chevrolet unveiled a show car based on its Corvette and dubbed the "Super Sport." The performance car world took one look, and never looked back. A combination of styling and performance upgrades, the SS package could turn something as mundane as a 6-cylinder Malibu into the fire-breathing Chevelle SS396. This book traces the long line of legendary SS models from Chevy’s Super Sport version of its popular Impala, which marked the dawn of the muscle car era, to today’s Impala SS. Featuring the work of acclaimed photo ace David Newhardt, Chevy SS: 50 Years of Super Sport provides a close-up, detailed, full-color look at such beloved muscle cars as the Chevelle, the Camaro, the El Camino, the Malibu, and the Monte Carlo. The book is a fittingly elegant celebration of the cars that redefined “high performance” and defined an era. |
MidwestBookReview.com, May 2007
“Chevy SS is highly recommended and [a] core addition to personal, academic or community libraries, American Automotive History reference collections, and reading lists.”
Octane, June 2007
“As big and blocky as the cars it celebrates, this 350-page hardback is dominated by David Newhardt’s fine color photography.”
Car Collector Magazine, December 2007
“A great deal of attention is paid the Camaro SS, which played a significant role in the Chevy Pony Car’s immediate popularity and showroom sales battle with the Mustang. In fact, only the Impala SS and Chevelle SS have more pages dedicated to them than the Camaro. In six chapters the author manages to get as much history and detail, touching on the finer points of engines, options, and features, as you can pack into 128 pages, plus an impressive 122 images. For Chevy fans, if you don’t already have the hard cover edition, you can pick this new soft cover copy up for a song.”
“If, however, you are looking for a true gem to add to your automotive library, this diamond is a real bargain.” – Jim Hinckley, Cars and Parts
