Each week, Criswell Chevrolet’s Mike Furman delivers new Corvette Stingrays, Grand Sports and Z06s to his customers who come from all parts of the country to work with the nation’s top individual Corvette seller.
Here’s another great Delivery Dispatch from Mike featuring deliveries of new Corvettes this week including a fantastic Grand Sport coupe that was custom ordered. Mike shares the news of the first Corvette ZR1 sold at Barrett-Jackson as well as a very fun collection of photos featuring vintage, throwbacks and old Chevy ads.

~Do I work for Criswell Chevrolet or am I a Corvette enthusiast? I get that question a lot, of course, posed tongue in cheek. Some believe selling Corvettes Nationwide for as long as I have deem what I do pure fun…maybe even the worlds greatest job. Like any job it’s still work but if you’re going to do something…why not something that you love? I get hundreds of calls per week on top of hundreds of emails. I answer everyone as swiftly as possible. Two other questions most asked are…What’s the most you have delivered in a month? and in a day? I delivered 61 in one month, 56 of them were Corvettes. I have sold 18 in one day, 14 were delivered and 4 sold orders. Are they records? I don’t really care about records one bit. But on that note…last evening at Barrett-Jackson the very first 2019 ZR1, vin #1 sold for $925,000. Every penny going to charity. Now that is awesome!
~Blaine J. Of Charlotte, North Carolina called me 8 weeks ago to special order his very first Corvette. He chose wisely with this Arctic White 2018 Grand Sport Cpe with Adrenaline Red interior Black Wheels and Red calipers! Blaine’s new GS Corvette is a 2LT Pkg with Competition Seats, visible carbon fiber ground effects Pkg, CF badge Pkg, Heritage pkg, 7Spd manual trans, CF mirrors, Navigation/PDR and CF Black Center stripe. This combo is cooler than the other side of the pillow. Blaine was in and out in under 75 minutes and headed South the 430 miles to his home in Charlotte with his 13 yr old son. Some quotes via email from Blaine on the road home…"Easiest car buying experience I’ve ever had by a long shot!!! Now I’m ready to knock off these 500 break in miles so I can open it up! Thanks again for everything! You did an absolutely fantastic job and made it extremely easy on me. This is one sweet ride!" Blaine

They made it perfectly clear to many of us in the lead-up to selling VIN 001 to Mr Hendrick that 925k WAS NOT going to a charity-it was going to help wounded Veterans. That is not a charity. If you recorded it,go back and look. They actually spoke those words.
“GM and Chevrolet are proud to honor and support the brave men and women of our armed forces,” said Steve Hill, GM vice president of U.S. Sales and Service. “Thanks to the generosity of two of our dealers, John Staluppi and Rick Hendrick, we will be able to offer additional support to some of our most severely wounded veterans through the Bush Center Military Service Initiative and the Siller Foundation Building for America’s Bravest effort – both extremely worthy organizations.”
Great quote,nonetheless,but not what I was referring to.
The sale of the Corvette ZR1 was a charity auction to benefit the Siller Foundation Building for America’s Bravest. The Stephen Siller Tunnel To Towers Foundation is recognized as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. During a BJ charity auction, no fees are charged and the winner writes the winning bid amount on a check made out directly to the benefiting organization.
Again,listen to the build-up and what I was referring to. If you cannot,you missed it and my point. The words that were spoken were,”this is not a charity,it’s for helping these Veterans”. Helping Veterans is NOT charity!
