GM published a magazine called Corvette News. Corvette News was the first Corvette magazine produced and was first published in 1957. It was sent to owners of new Corvettes…for free. Corvette News covered Corve...tte racing, news about Corvette club events, features about Corvette owners, and news about the new Corvette!When you purchased your new Corvette, your owner’s manual had a postcard in the front that you sent in with your name and address. You received a pin, a patch, an ID card and a subscription for three calendar years to Corvette News. It was originally sent out four times a year, and later six times yearly.After your free subscription ran out you could subscribe for the cost of $15 for two years (12-bi-monthly issues).A man named Myron Scott, who was in charge of the GM photo collection, picked most of the photos in the first issue.For the first couple of years Jim Bernardin, Harry Borgman, and Paul Samuelson, who worked for Campbell-Ewald marketing communications agency, worked on the magazine.
