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.
We have a fun-filled Delivery Dispatch for you today and this one contains both local deliveries to the Maryland dealership but you will see a bunch of customers utilizing the Courtesy Delivery program with one of Mike’s trusted Chevy dealers in the Phoenix, AZ market helping out with his customers. Fewer and fewer dealers are utilizing the Courtesy Delivery program so talk with Mike to see if the one can be set up for your Corvette order. In addition to the deliveries, Mike has a great collection of throwback and vintage photos for your review. Let him know your favorites in the comments section below.
~Not many sales reps arrive at 6:30am on a Saturday to meet the Plycar truck driver. “Spyder” needed to get my deliveries moving down the road lickity split and I was more than happy to accommodate.
~ C8 Corvette Deliveries this week:
~John M. of Roseland, Virginia took delivery today of his new 2023 Corvette Z51 Convertible with Black paint and interior. He had Criswell service add the high wing spoiler.
~ Kim A. of Bonita Springs, Florida was referred to me by her Uncle from Frederick, MD. I am in the same corvette club as Jim (last 20 years)so it was natural he sent her my way. Jim accompanied her here today and Kim took delivery of her very first Corvette. Torch Red 2023 Z51 Convt with Adrenaline red interior. Super drive coming up as it’s about 1,200 miles to her Florida home.
~Jason B. of Fountain Hills, Arizona ordered from me his new Rapid Blue 2023 Corvette Z51 convertible with Tension/Twilight blue interior. I had it drop shipped to his local Chevrolet dealership in Phoenix and yesterday he took courtesy delivery with the MGR Kenny L. Kenny handles about 30-35 Corvette deliveries for me out in Phoenix.
~Paul and Nora Y. of Cave Creek. Arizona factory ordered their new Torch Red with Adrenaline Red/Black interior 2023 Corvette Z51 convertible from me and I had it drop shipped for courtesy delivery at their local Chevrolet dealership in Phoenix, AZ. Their new Corvette will look terrific in their garage right next to Nora’s 1960 Corvette! Yesterday was delivery day and I am sure they have perma-grins on their faces from their first ride.
~Robert K. of Dahlonega, Georgia hopped on a short flight today so that he could take delivery of his new Torch Red with Natural interior 2023 Corvette Z51 coupe. He currently owns a 1966 Corvette so the technology of the 8th generation Corvette will be just fine for him. Robert even attended the very first National Corvette Caravan held in 1994!
~Mark K. of Henderson, Nevada placed his factory order with me for a Torch Red 2022 Corvette Z51 coupe and I had it drop shipped for courtesy delivery at a Chevrolet dealership in Phoenix, AZ. This past week he flew from Nevada to Phoenix so that he could drive his new Stingray home to Henderson.
~Jim K. of Phoenix, Arizona reached across the USA and placed his order for a Red Mist 2022 Corvette 2LT Coupe with Natural interior. I drop shipped it for courtesy delivery at his local Phoenix Chevrolet dealer.
~James L. of Dayton, Nevada placed his Corvette order with me and I had it drop shipped to a Phoenix, AZ Chevrolet dealership for courtesy delivery. Jim ordered a Caffeine metallic with Black/ Red two tone interior for his 2022 Corvette Z51 convertible. They flew down to Phoenix and drove home in Stingray style.
~Jim S. of Waldorf, Maryland took delivery today of Corvette #3! First was a 1960, then a 2016 and today he drove away in a Rapid Blue 2023 Corvette Z51 Convertible with Tension Blue/Twilight Blue interior and Edge Yellow full length dual racing stripes. I believe he checked the boxes for pretty much every option as the MSRP is $106,550.
~Chris M. of Mesa, Arizona factory ordered from me a Rapid Blue 2022 Corvette Z51 coupe with Sky cool gray interior. I had it drop shipped for courtesy delivery at his local Chevrolet dealership in Phoenix, AZ.
~Fred and Doris S. of Glendale, Arizona factory ordered their Silver Flare 2022 Corvette Z51 convertible from me and I had it drop shipped to their local Chevrolet dealership in Phoenix. Fully loaded and well thought out with their specs. Check out the Morello Red dipped interior if you ever get to view this Stingray in person!
~Mike O. of Phoenix, Arizona ordered his new Red Mist 2023 Corvette Z51 Convertible with Natural interior. I had it drop shipped to his local Phoenix Chevrolet dealership and he took courtesy delivery this week.
~Rick M. of Umatilla, Oregon reached out to me for his factory order of his new 2023 Corvette. Criswell service did the prep work and Plycar trucking will enclose trailer it the 2,600 miles to his Oregon home. The paperwork/payment process was completed by Fed Ex both ways and his Hypersonic gray/Adrenaline Red and Black interior 2023 Corvette Z51 coupe will be in his garage real soon.
~Phil G. of Jupiter, Florida ordered from me his new Arctic White 2023 Corvette Z51 Convertible with Adrenaline Red interior. I had it drop shipped for courtesy delivery at his local Chevrolet dealership in Delray Beach, FL. Here is his response after taking delivery. “Here’s the new Vette, the old (2005) Cirrus airplane, and the ancient driver (me!). I think the color combo is awesome. Now just need a Z06 with same choices.” Phil
~The Frank Class Corvette barn find and throwback section continues with a quick 50 pics. The last one is of me (in red sweatshirt) visiting my customer on a Sunday after he picked up a used 1969 Corvette from me, picture from 1979!!
4 speed 15,000 mile 54 used to pull a wooden launch to fish in the Gulf of Mexico. Car has been off the road since 1967.
As I always say, Drive safely and enjoy the week.

I know everyone taste is different and everyone wants to make his Corvette stand out among the crowd but for the life of me, why would you want all the accents painted in the body color? I really like the Carbon Flash accents I think it breaks up the one body color. IMHO
LOOOVE the letter from “MARY” … GREAT stuff!!! … Jimbo
I disagree. The so-called “carbon flash” trim is nothing more than black plastic which looks cheap because it is cheap. GM would have you think otherwise, but the truth is the truth. Body color trim eliminates the bargain basement look which has no place on a car costing $85k-$95k. If anything, it needs some chrome in strategic places to visually justify it’s high price; chrome badges should be standard.
Love Mike and the delivery pics/stories, but those Gold Stripes are TERRIBLE. If you MUST get stripes, Silver is the only way to go on the C8 after seeing almost all the combinations in person.
Love the old pics! The white & turquoise 59/60 with reversed colors is unique and very pretty.
Mike’s attention to detail is nothing new. In 1967 his baseball cards were organized in a way that dewey decimal envied. In his 20’s he built furniture for hobby… It was so meticulous that we were afraid to touch it. Needless to say, we’ve been friends for a very long time and he’s always been and will always be a very prideful and conscientious man! Thanks for everything my friend
Really liked the way the pictures were displayed in the Frank Class section! Thanks Mike!
My favorite is the half and half yellow/black C3. It’s unique and different looking!
Mike,
I love all the pics of new C8s being delivered to customers and the joy those deliveries must bring. The variety of configurations and options available are fantastic. I just met one of your recent customers with a red mist convertible at a CA car show here yesterday and he was a very happy camper. Hopefully my pic will be among those soon to be published.

I vote for the hottie who forgot her shoes!! 🙂
The 54′ pulling the boat had a “Supercharged” script on the nose. Dealers at the time were
installing Paxton/McCulloch superchargers. Pretty rare setup. I have never seen one in person.
