Criswell Chevrolet’s Mike Furman delivers new Corvettes to his customers who come from all across the country to work with the nation’s top individual Corvette seller.

After a long-deserved vacation (I’m talking about me!), we are back to bring you the latest installment of our delivery dispatch featuring new Corvettes delivered by the nation’s top Corvette seller, Mike Furman. We love seeing the happy faces of new owners as they have their Corvettes delivered and we also enjoy checking out the different build specs on each and every one. Mike can deliver new Corvettes locally, at the NCM, or across the country via courtesy deliveries and direct-to-driveway shipping and he has it down pat, so don’t let a bit of distance keep you from ordering your dream ride. Mike also shares a nice selection of both personal throwbacks as well as these vintage pics from back in the day. Like what you see? Let us know in the comments below!

~Tomorrow will be the start of my 44th year selling Corvettes. One of the best parts is that I’m a Corvette enthusiast (have owned 22 Corvettes myself) first and foremost so handing keys over to the new Corvette owner is pure FUN each and every time.

~RC of Tuolumne County, California chose to travel the internet 2,800 miles in order to receive his Red Mist /Natural interior 2021 Z51 Convt via Drop ship for courtesy delivery at the Chevrolet dealer in Turlock, CA. I was glad to assist him and he prefers staying under the radar hence I will not list his name and city but I had to share his cars picture. Stunning for sure!

~Chris M. of Carson City, Nevada factory ordered his Rapid Blue 2021 Stingray coupe to be drop shipped at a Chevrolet dealer in Phoenix, AZ. 2,600 miles in distance was not going to deter him from doing business with me. Equipment list: 1LT pkg, performance exhaust, and Rapid Blue paint were the only options. Today was his delivery date and he is looking forward to the scenic ride home.

~Paul and Laura R. of Danville, California wanted to see the USA after ordering their very first Corvette.

Equipment list: 2LT pkg, Adrenaline red/ Black two tone interior, GT2 seats,bright red calipers and much more.

Equipment list: 2LT pkg, rapid blue seatbelts, front lift, edge red calipers, CF fender stripes and much more.

Their first Corvette was a 1965 so the new 2021 will be a bit more advanced.

Equipment list: 3LT pkg, midnight gray full length stripes, front lift, magnetic ride, spectra gray wheels, CF painted mirrors, Z51 pkg and much more! Survey words from Mickey C. “Mike Furman is the best in the business for a reason. He was professional, punctual, and always kept me informed through the buying process. Purchasing a Corvette over the last 2 years has been tricky, but Mike made it the best experience it could be. I can’t imagine dealing with anyone else. Also, I have a few custom items that I wanted done for delivery. Dina and here team in the Corvette Service Dept. stepped up and nailed each one of them. Her dedication to the customer and making sure I knew how the process worked made sure I was informed and no surprises were handed to me. Such a great team at Criswell. A+ players across the board.”

~Brian P. of Ellicott City, Maryland factory ordered a Ceramic Matrix Gray 2021 Corvette Convertible with the two tone Natural/ black interior and it came out fantastic. Cool combo for sure!

Here is an email I just received along with these delivery pictures…

Hello Mike
“Here are the photos of the delivery yesterday of our 14th Corvette.
You are sooo correct….. its worth the wait. TC Chevrolet in Ashland OR did a great job.
Now we will be installing XPEL, MRR Wheels, Splitter and Ground effects painted body color.
Will send a photo when all are completed, probably in Sept.
We both thank you for a job well done. Also you are delivering a Blue one to Jon Dunn who is also in the Rogue Valley Corvette Club here in Oregon.
We plan to take some photos of all the C8s you delivered for our club web page this fall. John Warren White, Jon Dunn Blue and my Red one for a Red, White, and Blue patriotic shoot.
Lastly are you planning one of your Ron Fellows events for next Spring?
If so I think Cheri and I would want to come along with the Dunns.
Let us know.
Thanks Again"
