Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for Feb. 24th

Each week, Criswell Chevrolet’s Mike Furman delivers new Corvette Stingrays, Grand Sports, Z06s and ZR1s to his customers who come from all parts of the country to work with the nation’s top individual Corvette seller.

In this week’s Delivery Post, Mike shines a spotlight on two different C7s, both unique for their color combos! We hear more about his plans for Spring Mountain and we learn the origin of why Mike named his weekly collection of throwbacks and vintage photos after a customer named Frank Class. As always, let Mike know which one is your favorite in the comments below.

Visit Mike’s facebook page for even more photos and videos of his new Corvette deliveries: CorvetteFurman.

~ Four Full Corvette truckloads arrived this week and they couldn’t have come soon enough. Each month I probably deliver New and Used Corvettes to at least 15-20 different States Nationwide. Most folks that are within 500-700 miles of Criswell usually just drive in and take delivery from me in Maryland but I have had folks fly in from San Francisco and drive their new Corvette home! It’s interesting when some people weigh the fun factor of doing a Museum delivery in Bowling Green, KY vs the experience that I give when coming to see me at the Dealership. I’d say that’s a big compliment being compared to the Museum delivery program. This whole 1st Qtr of 2019 I also have Corvettes and Camaro’s being drop shipped for Courtesy delivery all over the US of A. Call my desk direct line 301-212-4420 or email [email protected] if you’d like to know more about the different ways to buy your next Corvette. Check out my Corvette dedicated web site www.corvettefurman.com "I deal in high volume…not high profit" I am now in my 41st year selling Corvettes.

~Roll Call for Ron Fellows Spring Mountain Race Track in Pahrump, Nevada. "These classes are open to all Corvette enthusiasts!"I will be attending the following Corvette Owner school classes.

• March 9th-13th (ZR1) Sold out
• July 19th-23rd (3 classes)
• October (TBA) (1 class)

The Corvette owner school on July 21st-22nd is the Corvette class I will be in. There is also a Corvette owner school on July 20th/21st and July 22nd/23rd. I plan on doing a couple of dinners at The Clubhouse with all three Corvette owner schools and spend time with as many Corvette owners as possible. *Schedule during the Summer and there is an extra $300 value. ~October…no date confirmed yet but I usually plan on the very first days of October for the Corvette owners school. *** Call Melinda or Donna for all questions and reservations. 800-391-6891 https://www.springmountainmotorsports.com/

~ I picked out two classic color combos to share this week for my delivery post.

~Helmer and Gail P. Of Sharpsburg, MD stopped by 6 weeks ago looking to buy their first new Corvette. Helmer had been talking about it for Decades and now was the time. Things worked out where we felt placing a factory order would be best in this case. Helmer wanted a 2019 Stingray Cpe in Shadow Gray Metallic with Adrenaline Red Seats, 1LT Pkg and 7 spd manual transmission. They couldn’t be more pleased how everything turned out…*Gail showed me a picture of her 1971 VW Bug that she ordered brand new and still owns! Even has the 1971 Maryland license plates still on!

This is one great Color combo, Shadow Gray with Adrenaline Red.

~The next 2019 Corvette Convt delivery was ordered by a local businessman…This is one color combo I had never seen but it really looks good in person. Torch Red paint with Adrenaline Red interior and Red top.

~I know George Barris built this gifted Corvette for Farrah Fawcett…I just wish I had been the salesperson to go over the car with her. I would have liked to have met her and seen this Barris Custom Corvette. I heard this Corvette came up for auction in the last few years but it had seen better days.

~This is a picture of the very first Callaway Corvette that Malcolm Konner Chevrolet of Paramus, NJ ever sold and delivered. Circa 1987.

…and pictured above is 1 of the 50 Malcolm Konner Commemorative Edition Corvettes produced in 1986…with BBS wheels.

~The Frank Class Corvette Barn Find and throwback section…for those of you that don’t know the story behind Frank. He bought his first brand new Corvette in 1957…and owned 50 new Corvettes over the years. Every year that I knew him he would buy a new Corvette each Spring from me. I would usually get a phone call after the new year and he’d say "I need to buy my last Corvette" and I would say to him that you have said that every year for the last 5 years! We would make a plan and I’d give him a sight unseen trade value. The rest is history. Frank would always comment about my Sunday delivery posts on Monday, he would tell me which old Corvette picture he liked best! I received a phone call from his daughter a few years back that Frank had passed and she needed assistance with his collection. So ever since then I have dedicated my Corvette Barn Find section to Mr Frank Class of Harrisburg, PA. A true friend to all.

So when I ask all to post up which picture is your favorite….a tip of the cap to Frank please…a fellow Corvette enthusiast.

Find the Corvette in the old pic above…

See the C3 parked next to Ted Bundy’s VW in the pic above.

Have a great week!
