"I’m busier than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs" Understatement? Wish I had a time-lapse to share of my office, pick a day, any day. Ask anyone that visits me at Criswell Chevrolet. But I feel fortunate as the 8th generation Corvette has lived up to the mid engine hype. I thank Zora and his dream along with GM/Corvette team coming through and building the mid engine Corvette and I thank the Konner family Auto Group for whom I worked for so many decades ago. Follow my CorvetteFurman Facebook page or Instagram corvette.furman as I post delivery video’s, pictures from past to present.

Gary Konner and me circa 1985…one of the salesman challenged me to a wrestling match so the entire dealership went to the local high school. It didn’t end well…for that salesman.

Some Corvette deliveries around the US of A this week.

~Larry M. of Granite Bay, California special ordered his Red Mist 2022 Corvette coupe and this is not Larry’s first go round with Corvette ownership. I had it drop shipped for courtesy delivery at a Chevrolet dealer near his home in California. Check out his email.. .

“During the past 14 months whenever I communicated with you I kept the message short and to the point because I knew you were very busy dealing with your many customers on your way to selling 5000 Corvettes. Congratulations! This Email will be longer. I picked up my C8 on October 28th at Winner Chevrolet in Colfax CA. It was a great day! Thank you very much for processing and finalizing the purchase of my custom factory order for my great Corvette. This vehicle is truly a tribute to and example of American engineering and manufacturing excellance. I saw my first Corvette when I was 13 or 14 years old. It was on a turntable at a fair in Illinois. It was a C1, ,probably one of the 300 built for the 1953 model year. ( or a prototype example) Since then I have had three C2s, one C5, two C6s and now one C8. I currently have one C2,one C6 and my C8. Yes I am a Corvette nut! Mike, thank you again for making my C8 a reality…at times it seems like a dream that it is here. I knew I could count on you!”
Larry M. Of California

P.S. Your time and date stamped folders impressed me!.”

He also added…”This is the only photo of me and my Red Mist C8 on delivery day at the dealership. Again thanks for everything you did to make my C8 dream come true. You are a true professional and I will recommend you to everyone who is in the market for a Corvette!”

~Matt K. of Apex, North Carolina factory ordered a Black 2022 Corvette Z51 coupe with Black interior, 2LT pkg and much more. We completed the paperwork/payment process via Fed Ex and last week (Sunday) I had Plycar trucking load his Corvette to bring to his home in North Carolina.

Duran, recently retired (31 yrs) LAPD, "The Elite" Metropolitan Division, on the right! Thanks for everything you did to make this happen. My C8 has exceeded all my expectations of what "THE" American sports cars could be and what it is. You, my friend, have certainly earned your reputation and should rightfully embrace the title of "Mr Corvette." I look forward to telling the story of my C8 aquisition, and be advised – you will be a big part of that story! I thank you in advance for helping me get my next Corvette. Thanks again Brother – see you down range…”
