hey, I'm not sure if any of you know where I could find some information on this all but I have an informative presentation to give in my public speaking class on any topic I want and I've chosen the success of the corvette. I'm looking for any financial charts, sales data, operating margins, etc. anything like that for at least 3 years back but the longer the better. If anyone knows were I can find anything, let me know. I searched google and haven't found much and I'm not sure where else to look.

Thanks,
Eddie

Time to go to the library (you know, books, on paper). There are half a dozen really good books covering the history of the Corvette. Everything you want to know, and much more, will be found in them.

One day i hope that the library will cease to exist as it is a slow, tedious and inefficient way of finding information. Until then give this a shot before you end up at the library anyways: http://print.google.com/

If there were a reasonable financial model that allowed authors to make a living publishing on the internet, books would go away. But to date there isn't such a reasonable method, so printed books remain the way authors get paid.

This is corvette trivia, but has a ton of facts, some of which may be useful to you.
