The Corvette is powerful, but the dream is more powerful.

The Chevrolet Corvette is a legend in the automobile world and has been a dream car for many a youngster while growing up. From young military men to middle-aged family men looking for the one-of-a-kind thrill offered by America's favorite sports car, "Corvette Stories from the Backbone of America" tells the stories of those who dream about, own, drive, and even love these cars.

In "Dreams Answered," the distraction provided by thinking about which Corvette he would buy if and when he returns home sustains a U.S. Marine through the Vietnam War. One man's entertaining road trip shows us that sometimes winging it can be more fun than planning every last travel detail in "Caravanning with No Clothes."

"Corvette Stories from the Backbone of America" shares the sometimes funny and sometimes heart-tugging stories of how people fulfilled their dreams and how the Corvette stimulated emotions beyond any other common car. You don't have to be a car or Corvette fan to enjoy this collection-just remember your experiences in life as you behold the element of the human spirit.
