Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for March 25th


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.

Mike’s delivery post starts off on a somber note this week as he tells us that another long-time Chevrolet dealer, Bill Stasek of Wheeling, Illinois passed away last week. Mike shows a photo of him and Bill together at Le Mans with Ron Fellows. With that news, Mike talks about two of his mentors in the business, Ken Allen and Gary Konner. And speaking of Konner, Mike came up with another great photo of the Konners at the Bowling Green Assembly Plant where Gary and RJ Konner picked up their 50 Malcolm Konner Edition Corvettes that were built to honor their father for the 1986 model year. As always, a great collection of new Corvette deliveries plus vintage and throwbacks awaits you below.

Make sure to visit Mike’s facebook page for even more photos and videos of his new Corvette deliveries: CorvetteFurman.

~I had two great mentors while growing up in the Car business, Ken Allen and Gary Konner. Ken was about 20 years older and Gary is only 6 years older. Thru out the 80’s I watched, listened and learned unbeknownst to them. Everything I do today with Corvette sales/customers is directly related to what I learned under their wing. Ken passed away approx 4 years ago and Gary and his wife live in Florida. I miss Ken tremendously as we talked several times per year after he retired and I’m thankful that Gary reached out to me a few years ago and we reconnected and speak/text often. Gary’s Father was of course Malcolm Konner, simply a pillar in the business world and a leading Chevrolet dealer for many decades.

I mention all of this as the Chevrolet world lost another great dealer out of the Chicago area this week, Bill Stasek. I first met Bill at Spring Mountain Race Track in Nevada for a Callaway meeting and then spent a week at Lemans in 2011 with him. We didn’t stop talking the whole week and I’m sure our wives were rolling their eyes. We spoke several times per year right up to just a few weeks ago as he always enjoyed my Corvette posts etc. Rest in Peace my friend, you will be missed by all that met you. (below is a picture of Bill and I with Ron Fellows at Lemans 2011)

~Tom J. Of Houston, Texas called me 10 weeks ago to special order a Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic 2019 Grand Sport Convt.

~Sukhdeep G. Of Yuba City, California called me 9 weeks ago to factory order his very first Corvette. Sukh chose to order a 2019 Torch Red Stingray Cpe with Adrenaline Red interior, 1LT Pkg, CF badges, Red calipers, Auto trans, Performance exhaust and Black Wheels. This is one Corvette that really pops off the page! I had it drop shipped at his local Chevrolet dealer in Davis, California for Courtesy delivery. In Sukhs own words “I want to thank you for everything. Your service was probably the best I’ve had not just in the auto industry but any customer service industry. You were always quick in answering my questions. Very polite, respectful and knowledgeable. It’s a dream come true for me” Thanks, Sukhdeep G.

~Andy T. of Ontario, Canada did his Z06 engine build two weeks ago and his new 2019 Z06 will be in his garage in a couple of weeks. I can’t sell new vehicles to Canada but I certainly have made many friends there. Last August I met Andy and his wife at Carlisle and then in December he flew to LA for the Auto show and I am sure I will see him this year at Carlisle…and he has already reserved a spot in the Corvette Furman driving experience at Spring Mountain in Pahrump, Nevada for my October class.
