Taking a snippet from Maurice Sendak’s vivid imagination, follow along as we sort out some very interesting data from GM Parts Center. We’ll call our journey “Where The Corvettes Are,” with no costumes or boat rides to far away lands necessary. 

For Corvette fans–and detractors–many assumptions can be made.

We can hear it now, “Corvettes are big in Texas and Florida, who knew?” Yeah, but we wouldn’t have thought California would be in third place behind those two states. We were just talking Corvette demographics with the Al Knoch Interiors folks the other day so this was an especially timely item that pinged ’round the internet.

So we now know the highest density US geography for Corvette, but where are the states with the most Corvettes on the road?  Your author is a native Seattleite, so of course I was thrilled that Washington was up there, but other Northern states have a lot of ‘Vettes as daily drivers as well. Seems like people everywhere like to drive their fiberglass rockets, not just folks from sunny climates.

Here’s the kicker. Did you know the second biggest market for Corvettes isn’t Canada, but Brazil?  In fact, there are more Corvettes in Mexico and Germany than Canada. We all know that most of Canada is frozen but those numbers were eye-opening and it’s probably not a bad idea for Corvette vendors to incorporate Spanish, Portuguese and German language options in their websites. Don’t forget Arabic and Hebrew too.

One thing’s for certain, the coolness of Corvette needs no translation.

Go here for more details and numbers.
