First Lady of Corvette

Elfi Arkus-Duntov and the making of a machine

They called her the First Lady of Corvette. She had already done the harder drive.

A Berlin dancer. A Russian-Jewish engineer. A café in the rain. An open MG out of collapsing France. Fifty-seven years beside the man who turned a showcar into America’s sports car, while the legend kept introducing her as his.
