Blame And (a Little) Praise

Lesley Hazleton must have expected massive hate mail when she attacked the most popular American car icon, the Chevy Corvette. Her knees get a little weak when she gets into a late-fifties, early-sixties “European-styled” Corvette, but the cars got progressively uglier as time went on? The Corvette has always had its own style and is a survivor not because it is “still hanging on” but because it is enormously popular. The Corvette is a cross between a muscle car and a true American sports car, and not only did it always have killer style, but it got prettier as time went on.

We hope you enjoy our work.
