OVERVIEW:
Vette Quarterly, later Vette Magazine, was a Corvette-only magazine. The publisher,
Mr Martyn L. Schorr, had previously edited dozens of automotive titles and was always impressed with how Corvette content
could spike magazine sales. He formed the company in 1976 and started a quarterly publication.
The magazine was re-titled as Vette and went bi-monthly in 1978.
OWNERSHIP:
The publishing company was initially Popular Publications in New York. In 1979, Mr Schorr sold the company to Stephen Schneider and his
CSK Publishing company, but Schorr remained involved as editor until 1981.
Schorr had previously edited Hi-Performance Cars, Custom Rodder, Chevy Action, Rodding and Re-styling and the book Corvette: From Six to Stingray. More information can be found in this Martin Schorr interview.
The editors and staff rode a wave of changes as the title moved through various new owners:- 1997 -- All JHS and CSK Publication titles are sold to McMullen-Argus, a division of Primedia,
- 2007 -- Primedia sells its Enthusiast Media division including former CSK titles to Source Interlink Media for $1.2 billion,
- 2014 -- Source Interlink rebrands to TEN: The Enthusiast Network, and,
- 2018 -- The Enthusiast Network is restructured into the Motor Trend Group, and just over a year later numerous titles were ended including Vette.
