Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for Feb 11th

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.

Thanks again for joining us each and every Sunday for Mike Furman’s latest delivery photos. Mike made some fantastic deliveries this week and not all are what you may expect! We see new Corvettes delivered at both the Maryland dealership as well as a courtesy delivery and several Plycar pickups that will deliver the new Corvettes directly to the driveway of their new owners. Also make sure you stick around for the throwback and vintage photo collection! Let us know 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’ve been selling cars for 46+ years and I have to say, the winner of the longest owned car that I’ve sold goes to my brother in law. He leased this 1989 Ford Mustang through the Konner Leasing company in 1988 for 4 years (bought out the lease) and current day he still owns this Mustang. Nicknamed “Casper”, odometer shows 73,581 miles. So 36 years, I don’t believe I have any customers that can beat that continuous ownership of a car that I sold!

~70 Years/ The One and Only by Richard Prince. I receive a few hundred emails daily, 365 days a year. One of the most popular questions is “what Corvette books do I recommend for enthusiasts?“ I always answer with Four off the top of my head, Keith Cornett wrote a book on Corvette Special Editions, Kevin Mackay and his book The Corvette Hunter, Tony Avedisian’s The Definitive 1963 Corvette RPO Z06 and Richard Prince released a few years ago this book in the pictures. I bought a signed copy of Kevin, Tony and Keith’s books and today I received a signed copy of Richard’s book courtesy of Joe M. of Smithtown, NY.

I have known Richard since the late 1980’s, even ran into him in the pits at the 2011 Lemans race in France where he so graciously captured my picture standing next to the eventual winning car 24 hours and 30 minutes after this photo shoot! Richard has been the Official Corvette Race Team photographer for the last 30 years so his work is…Professional to say the least! Richard even has a stable of really cool Corvettes in his garage and as a Facebook friend of his I get to see home movies and pictures of his sports cars. Richard is one heckuva chef too, I often see car parts baking (kitchen stove) the paint on each meticulously restored part as he and his wife do their own restoration work. Someday when I visit Long Island I hope to visit his museum(garage). I promise to pay for the tour with Maryland crabs.

~Lucas F. of Pasadena, Maryland has dreamed all his life (3 yrs and 12 days) about owning a New Corvette and today was his delivery day. His Grandfather, Scott found this Yellow Corvette at the National Corvette museum store and he placed the order. Last week was the Target Production week as Grandpop put it together! Production went smoothly as none of the options were on constraint.

Lucas even has a personalized plate to match his Grandfathers. I brought in my Corvette car cover for the special unveiling and 9am delivery appt. Both Grandparents and Lucas’s Mother attended the special delivery day. Thumbs up to the whole family. Off to Duck Donuts in Rockville and then home to read the owners manual etc! Nap time can wait! *See the two videos in the FB comments.

~Plycar Trucking enclosed carrier appt this morning for a new 2024 Carbon Flash metallic Corvette going to Jim A. of Deephaven, Minnesota. Check out the two videos in the comments section!

~Gary B. of Ft Lauderdale, Florida has bought a few sports cars from me over the years but he is really excited to take delivery of his new Black/Black 2024 Corvette Z06 coupe. Paperwork completed via Fed Ex this morning and this afternoon Plycar trucking will load it up for the trip South to his Florida home. Equipment: 3LZ, Ground effects pkg, ceramic brakes, edge red calipers, black exhaust tips, satin graphite spider wheels and much more!

Equipment list: 3LT, front lift, 20 spoke gloss black wheels, Z51 pkg and much more.

~Woody M. of Reno, Nevada was referred to me by another good customer that lives near by in Reno. I actually played Golf in their back yard at Montreaux CC about 15 years ago. Woody ordered a beauty, Red Mist metallic tintcoat 2024 Corvette Z51 coupe. Check out the Jet Black/ Adrenaline Red interior along with the 20 Spoke midnight gray with red stripe wheels! Paperwork completed via Fed Ex and Plycar trucking due here shortly to enclose trailer his new Corvette the 2,600 miles to His home in Reno, Nevada.

~Peter K. of Glendale, Arizona and his business partner Troy A. of Peoria, Arizona special ordered their new Corvettes and I had them built, shipped and the courtesy delivery together. I drop shipped both Corvettes to their local Chevrolet dealership in Phoenix. Peter ordered a Red Mist 2024 Z51 convertible and Troy ordered a Sea Wolfe Gray Z51 Convertible with Adrenaline Red interior. I am sure they had a blast taking delivery and driving off into the Arizona sunset!

~John and Kara P. of Springfield, Virginia factory ordered from me their “Darth Vader” Corvette. Today they took delivery of their 2nd Corvette, Carbon Flash Black 2024 Corvette Z51 Convertible with two tone Red/Black interior.
