With the beginning of the new year, it’s time to look back at the sales of Corvettes during 2017 with our annual list of the Top 50 Corvette dealers. This is our final update for 2017 which totals the sales of Corvettes from January 1st to December 31st, 2017.
The year was made a little more interesting than most as it featured a three-month assembly plant shutdown smack dab during the peak summer sales season. Many dealers were able to weather the shutdown time by having amble inventory available, and several of the top volume dealers actually saw their sales increase over 2016’s totals.
Chevrolet sold 25,079 Corvettes domestically in 2017, and it was the fourth full year of C7 Corvette production. Domestic sales are down a little over 16% from 2016, but again, take in account the C7’s maturity plus no custom orders during the prime summer months and I believe that makes the decline moot.
As always, I like to offer a couple of disclaimers with the Top 50 Corvette Dealers report.
Most Chevrolet dealers are more than ready to sell you a new Corvette and you should go with the dealership that makes you most comfortable during the buying process. We provide this list to give Corvette buyers a better idea of who is selling more Corvettes in their area as well as those that are selling the most nationally.
The Top 50 Corvette dealers sold 6,862 of the 25,079 Corvettes in 2017 which accounts for 27.9% of total Corvette sales. That shows there are a lot of Corvettes available outside our list of the Top 50, so take that into consideration as well.
And finally, I’ll take this moment to shamelessly mention all of our Corvette dealers that support us here at CorvetteBlogger. Please consider talking to any of these great dealers for your next Corvette purchase:
Kerbeck Corvette and Mike Furman at Criswell Chevrolet are both in the Top 5 with Kerbeck once again reigning as the world’s largest Corvette dealer. No. 23 is Elkland Chevy in Pennsylvania and upstate New York dealer Van Bortel Chevrolet came in at No. 32. We also have a couple of dealers that didn’t make the Top 50 but it wasn’t for lack of trying! Nebraska’s Harchelroad Motors came in at No. 108 on the list with 37 Corvette sales while long-time supporter Sport Chevrolet in Maryland was No. 127 with 33 total Corvette sales.
Here are the Top 50 Corvette Dealers from 2017:

16 of 50 in Florida-hmmm.Happy to have contributed to that total.
If you add all the Hendricks stores on this list he controls the second spot easily. The list doesn’t have all his stores. For example – Charleston and others. I bought mine In Charleston.
