~Working within 25 miles of Wash, DC at Criswell Chevrolet of Gaithersburg, MD, sometimes puts me in a position to receive many calls over the years to many political personalities, movie stars and athletes, among others. Pictured is G Gordon Liddy, but here is a short list of others that have called on me over the years. Robert Prosky (The Judge in the movie The Natural, Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) bought a new 2008 Suburban from me), O. North bought a 95 sedan, Justin Verlander bought a 2012 Z06 100th anniversary Corvette, Thurgood Marshall Jr bought a 2016 Z06, and Judge Lance Ito bought a C8 two years ago. I guess I should have kept a complete log starting 45 years ago, but every once in a while I will have that “Oh Yeah” moment and remember someone else. No book is forthcoming, trust me, many folks I have sworn to secrecy, and I don’t post their delivery pictures, etc.
~Some customer reviews truly stand out and I most certainly appreciate the time it takes to sit down and write out a comment, below is a terrific one from this past month…”I’ve purchased many vehicles over the past 50 years, many new. The salesman, Mike Furman was recommended to me by several friends, I had spoken to four other dealerships in the area plus one in Virginia near our week end home, After meeting Mike, I knew he had the professional customer approach and knowledge about my life long dream of buying a high performance sportscar, this is my 5th corvette. He didn’t meet my expectations, he exceeded them. Before taking delivery of my 2023 Amplified Orange, 2LT C8 corvette coupe with Z51 package , High Wing spoiler and more, he showed me the dealership, a test drive, the service department and after delivery, helped me in buying a great extended warranty package. He didn’t come off as a salesman, I now have a friend I think of as a brother. Thank You. PS, My wife thinks he’s a terrific guy too. Smile……” Ken F. of Maryland

Lots of smiles all around today.
