Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for April 23rd


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.

Judging by these fantastic photos coming up, Mike must have been hugely busy this week to squeeze in all these deliveries in a single week, plus finding the time to run up to the Spring Carlisle show for the day. The new Corvettes in this delivery post are just gorgeous and their new owners are showing their excitement to be handed the keys to America’s Favorite Sports Car as well. Check out the new deliveries and then stick around for the huge collection of throwbacks and vintage photos. Mike reads the comments so let him know your favorite photo(s) of the week!

You can see all of Mike’s posts through the week on his CorvetteFurman Facebook Page.

~Last Sunday I was invited out to Freeway Airport in Bowie, Maryland as the Annapolis Corvette Club had a great Corvette meet planned. Kim and Matt L. are the owners of the Airport and are also customers of mine at Criswell Chevrolet. They put together quite the event as they closed the airport down at 3pm and gave anyone and everyone a short 5 minute flight. Other activities included a really nice late lunch spread, pictures on the runway and a few spirited “launch mode” rides by those that owned Corvettes equipped with the launch mode capabilities. I had an incredible time catching up with the entire club as many of them have bought Corvettes from me the past 20+ years. Thanks again to Kim and Matt! I look forward to seeing Scott’s drone footage!


~1953 Corvette vin 0100 sold for $300,000 at the Spring Carlisle Auction. I took these pictures just before it crossed the auction block. ..and there is no truth to the rumor that I sold this 1953 brand new, just an urban myth!

~I’m estimating that my 6,000th Corvette delivery will occur mid Summer so I started reaching out to some vendors that have assisted me with previous milestone deliveries. Ron Fellows Spring Mountain racetrack and Adam of Adam’s Polishes have already said they will participate and today I received a box of goodies from Mobil 1 Corvette Racing to help with the occasion. Much appreciate all that help fill the trunk of the fortunate customer that takes delivery of my 6,000th Corvette delivery this coming Summer!!

#3,000 was January 13th, 2014
#4,000 was April 18th, 2018
#5,000 was May 29th, 2021
#6,000 will be Summer 2023
The car is the Star!

~Joe P. of Herndon, Virginia bought his Laguna Blue C7 Corvette from me back in 2015 and I enjoy speaking with him at his yearly service visits for an oil change. He stopped by yesterday and told me about his 9 year old grandson that had open heart surgery. All went well and Joe showed me a picture of this amazing young man. I said why don’t you bring him a Corvette poster and he said he has 3 grandsons. So I signed at his request for each grandson a different note. Future Corvette drivers!

  1. My favorites are the black 72 LT-1 and the blue C3 with the custom hood right below it. I especially liked the two new Red Mist Z06s that were delivered this week. The owners of both of them checked off all the right boxes when they ordered them.

  2. Uh, about that CBS News segment with Norah O’Donnell, there is another nameplate that has a timespan lengthier than the Corvette. It’s another Chevy. The Suburban was introduced in 1935.

  3. Thanks for the Throw-back pictures. I really like the C2 Plexiglas hardtop, very cool. Or, very hot depending if you’re in the sun!!!!!
