I've found the data at http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=F but the problem is I don't quite know what to make out of it :-( so I really need help. I must turn it in on Wednesday and I've looked, but couldn't find anything. Maybe some of you out there know how to do this and you could help me?
I don't even picture how this could be done, let alone judging how Ford is gonna do in terms of the financial crisis... :-OI desperately need help analyzing Ford statistics with the global financial crisis in mind?
That Yahoo Finance stock quote isn't going to help you much.
As a public company, every quarter Ford puts out a press releases with its quarterly earnings report. If you go to Ford.com, and look through their "investor" information or their press release archive, you can find these.
Look at those to see how Ford has been progressing each quarter in terms of car sales, revenues, net income, and its balance sheet (how much cash is available, and how fast it is burning through it). Spend some time looking at the trends in these financial numbers, estimate how things would have unfolded under normal conditions over the next few quarters, and estimate how bad things are going to get because of the financial crisis hurting sales.

Not sure what you're looking at specifically. As a vehicle manufacturer, it shouldn't fare so well in light of rising gas prices (cost push inflation) and further decreased demand due to rising inflation and economic uncertainty. People will be less likely to purchase new vehicles when they can not reasonably predict the availability of income (also look at rising inflation?).
