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.
Happy Birthday to Mike Furman who turned the young age of 63 on Saturday, and here’s to many more! The Corvette Seller didn’t take the big day off and instead was on site at the dealership making dreams come true to those enthusiasts picking up their new rides. Some great deliveries were captured this week at the Maryland dealership and the NCM, and we love reading about the various equipment that people add to their cars. The birthday boy also shared a fantastic gallery of never-seen vintage and throwback photos so be sure to list your favorites in the comments section below.
You can see all of Mike’s posts and pictures through the week on his CorvetteFurman Facebook Page.
~I will be attending the Corvettes at Carlisle Event (41st year straight) August 23-26. My Corvette will be on display at the Ron Fellows Spring Mountain Racetrack tent on the Midway infield.
**Spoiler Alert**~Adam of Adam’s Polishes will be continuing the celebration of my 6,000th Corvette delivery at his Adam’s Polishes display booth on the Midway infield Saturday August 26th at High Noon. Come by as you never know what he has planned!
~I’ve been attending Carlisle Events since Fall 1978!
~Last Thursday I Played 9 holes at the Golf Club that I’m a member along with a good friend and customer of mine, Tim.
We were walking in the Dining facility when a woman walking in with a man said “Hey Mike Furman, don’t you recognize me?” Shelley owns a Local Fire Protection Company and has bought a dozen Express vans from me over the last 20 years and her son has bought a few family vehicles from me. She proceeds to say that her company will need 3 new vans real soon and her Friend Ray here is retiring next year and wants a Corvette. We small talk for a bit and go our separate ways (4). Tim and I sit down and proceeds to say that his brother Charles wants to buy a truck from me this year and a Corvette next year (2). Then Tim adds that he is in need of Two new family vehicles, most likely a Traverse and a Tahoe to replace his Malibu and Traverse(2). We were sitting next to a large table with a local family and I’ve sold 9-10 vehicles to that family and one of them said to me he just paid off his Traverse that he bought from me and would like to look at a new vehicle in a couple of months (1). Tim finishes this conversation that his Father has one more Corvette in him to buy from me and he most likely get one next year (1). Tim’s family lives 3 hours away in Eastern PA but his Father has bought 5 Corvettes from me, Tim’s sister bought a Malibu from me and Tim’s mother in law has purchased a used sedan from me.
…So for those of you counting at home, that is 10 Auto Sales in less than 30 minutes after my evening round of Golf. I ordered a Cheeseburger and finished the evening walking with Tim to our respective vehicles and Tim turns to me and says” You can never retire selling 10 vehicles in 30 minutes!” I said “ that doesn’t count all the emails and texts that I received this evening either!”
True story. As Tim always states to me, “ You just can’t make this up!”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mike … MANY more, Old Bud … THOROUGHLY enjoy Your NEWSLETTER … Jimbo
Confused by Pic #74 — two ’57 fuelie Corvette racers, nose to tail in the pits, but both cars appear to be #3? How can that be?
Maybe the other #3 is their backup car? My favorites are the pic of the yellow 73 at Le Mans and the pic of the tough looking blue 67 with side pipes and super wide wheels and tires.
