Default Color numbers for each year

I did a search and couldn't find anything, maybe my wording is off....

I'm looking for some reference on how many of each color was made in each year of the C5. I saw a book at Borders (like Barnes & Noble) That showed the most popular color for each year, but no more detail about all the colors for each year.

Oh, and just in case you guys wanted to know, it was a one year old book, and it said Torch Red was the most popular color for every year C5, except in 2004, the most popular color was black.

Thanks for your help!

Jade,

Here is the link to the paint info you want. Its in the "Production and Performance" category.

http://corvetteactioncenter.com/spec.../2001prod.html

You will see there were only 443 DBGM coupes produced in 2001, about 3% on that years production.

You can move forward or backward by year within the category.
