Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for Dec. 22nd

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.

Here’s another great Delivery Post from Mike as we count down the days until the end of the year. Mike takes a walk down memory lane and shares some cool experiences he has had as the nation’s top individual Corvette seller. A couple of deliveries are spotlighted this week with a gorgeous Black with Spice Red 2019 Corvette Grand Sport leading the way. And if the vintage and throwback photos are what you like to see, Mike has you covered there as well! So make sure you let us know which is your favorites in the comments below!

~The generation of new C7’s is winding down and the rumors of all things mid-engine is full steam ahead. Everyone wants to know what is next? The first 2020 for retail production hasn’t even gone down the line yet folks want to know when the 2021’s are starting? That is totally in GM’s hands. I knew Zora Duntov from the Summers of 1978-1990 and his quote still stands true today as it did all those weeks when he visited Malcolm Konner Chevrolet and he said, "Rumors sell magazines, not cars." Stay patient as the 8th Generation Corvette is well worth the wait. I am down to my final 60 new 2019 Corvettes in stock. Call my desk direct line 301-212-4420 or email [email protected] for any of your Corvette needs. Check out my Corvette Furman facebook page for video’s/pics of my daily Corvette delivery posts. *Most important, travel safely this Holiday season!

~One realizes many great memories when looking back at all the cars you’ve owned. Looking back down the memory lane of photos that I was able to save from Hurricane Sandy evokes visceral feelings going back decades.

Flew to Boston to meet up with a customer that I had never met, he knew I was a baseball fan and he had my name put on the scoreboard during the middle of the game.

General Motors rep brought me a cake after my 4,000th Corvette delivery. Halfway to 5,000 now.

*One of the coolest stories happened early on a Sunday morning a few years back. I had driven on the General Jubal A Early Ferry to cross the Potomac River from Maryland into Virginia in my new 2016 Z06 and up comes behind me a 1930 Ford…all original! This gentleman was headed to Church and he always liked to take his old Ford. He had owned this car since 1959. We spoke for the whole ten-minute ride. He paid $95 in 1959 for that car!

Bravo TV had me on two episodes of a Reality TV Show…

"Newlyweds, the First Year" was the name of the Bravo TV show.

~Spotlight on a couple of deliveries this week.

~Steve C. or Marietta, Georgia had been seeking just the right Corvette when he came upon my ad for this Black with Spice Red 2019 Corvette Grand Sport coupe. Very rare and super low production numbers! 3LT pkg, Auto Transmission, and the machine face wheels make this Corvette stand out. 1,531 3LT GS coupes for 2019 were produced, 244 were black, 198 with the Auto transmission, only 6 with Spice Red interior and 1 with the Machine Face wheels!! The paperwork/ payment process is completed via FedEx and over the next week, Plycar trucking will enclose trailer down to Steve’s home.

~Rogers and Maria M. of Upper Marlboro, Maryland called me the other day to set up an appt. to visit me at Criswell today and walk the inventory. They both agreed on Shadow gray metallic and once they viewed the Kalahari interior their minds were made up. Rogers drove home in his 2nd Corvette as he once had a C6 that his Father had gifted him. Equipment list: Auto transmission, 2Lt pkg, navigation /PDR, machine faced wheels, and much more.

~Brian and Erin of Oxford, Massachusetts had their new 2019 Stingray picked up by Plycar trucking and should arrive this weekend at their New England home. Just in time for Christmas.
