Corvette

For over fifty years, the Chevrolet Corvette has been the leading - and often the only - American sports car. Even challengers as strong as the Dodge Viper and the Ford-engined Shelby Cobras have failed to dislodge the fiberglass-bodied two-seater from its pre-eminent position in the US market place.

In this program we trace the full story of the marque and feature every significant Corvette model - both on road and track - to show why it has reigned for more than fifty years as 'America's Sportscar'.

We tour the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky; feature Corvettes in action on race tracks and at over 230mph on the open desert roads of Nevada; and gain access to the Chevrolet film library to find out why the always-charismatic 'Vette has become a true 'American automotive icon'.
