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.
Welcome back to another week of new Corvette deliveries with everyone’s good friend Mike Furman. Mike takes a minute to share a few photos of Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter who announced his retirement last week. This week’s Delivery Dispatch is filled with new Corvette deliveries featuring all three 2024 Corvette models, and the throwback photos contain a ton of vintage racing pics, so enjoy! Got a favorite this week? Let us know in the comments section below.
You can see all of Mike’s posts and pictures through the week on his CorvetteFurman Facebook Page.
~Tadge Juechter at the C8 Z06 reveal. We were able to walk together the two blocks to the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA, CA just before he took the stage to reveal the C8 Z06. Congrats on retirement. Great memories!
“ I will personally miss Tadge on so many levels. If you think about it, Corvette without Tadge, omg. My friend, my associate, a true example of what GM is capable of, and most important an amazing person on every level. Brilliant, humble, hungry, and treats all he works with — with the most respect and kindness. What more can you ask. Yes, the cars are spectacular. What he leaves behind are people who are so passionate about what they do….and doing it the right way. Bless you. And only the VERY BEST.”

~ New C8 Corvette Deliveries for the week!
~Rebecca T. of Washington DC has ordered Corvettes from me before so she was well prepared for today as she drove home her new Torch Red 2024 Corvette Coupe. Equipment: 2LT, Black interior and 20 spoke gloss forged aluminum wheels completed her C8 factory order.
~Richard L. of Alpine, California factory ordered his new Red Mist 2024 Corvette Z06 Convertible from me and I had it drop shipped for courtesy delivery to his local Chevrolet dealership in Fontana, CA. Equipment:3LZ, natural interior, stealth interior trim, edge red calipers, black spider design wheels and much more.
~ Angele and Gilles R. of La Quinta, California chose to do the paperwork process via Fed Ex and last week Plycar Trucking transported their third Arctic White Corvette to their airplane hangar at the Airport. I call their 2020 C8 “Slim”, their 2023 Z06 “Flex” and their new 2024 Eray is “White Tux”. They are thrilled to add to their collection and enjoy very much the Arctic White with Natural interior for all 3. Now they need to start flying in their Corvettes more than they fly their planes. They are always ready for takeoff. Two super nice folks that are Big time Corvette enthusiasts.
~George W. of Egg Harbor, Wisconsin ordered his Hypersonic Gray 2024 Corvette Coupe from me and I had it drop shipped for Courtesy delivery at a Chevrolet dealership near him in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Equipment: 2LT, GT2 buckets, stealth interior trim, body color accents, magnetic ride, satin graphite w/machined edge wheels, and much more. I am sure they are looking forward to the Wisconsin Spring/Summer weather headed their way.
~Wayne P. of York, Pennsylvania drove home his factory ordered Red Mist 2024 Corvette Coupe today and he will park it in his garage right next to his 1961 Corvette! Equipment ordered for his new C8: 1LT, red engine cover, black exhaust tips, performance exhaust, 20 spoke gloss wheels and more.

~Derrick D. of Rosharon, Texas factory ordered his new Riptide Blue 2024 Corvette Z06 Convertible from me and we completed the paperwork via Fed Ex and today Plycar trucking will load it for the trip to his Texas home. Stunning combo, Riptide Blue with two tone Sky cool gray/Black interior. Equipment: 3LZ, stealth interior, front lift, Carbon ceramic brakes, black exhaust tips, and much more!

~Joe and Teri J. of Houston, Texas took museum delivery last time of their 2021 C8 and this time decided to drive their Corvette from Texas to Maryland and trade it in on their new Arctic White 2024 Corvette Convertible so we could finally meet. Joe wanted factory Orange dual racing stripes but they are currently not available. He found a company in Hawaii that made custom to fit striping and our Corvette technician installed the stripes and they look great with Natural interior… especially since Joe and Teri are U of Texas alum/fans. Equipment: 2LT, chrome badges, Z51 pkg, Orange seat belts and more.
~Hugo A. of Waxahachie, Texas factory ordered from me his new Rapid Blue 2024 Z06/Z07 Coupe with Tension/Twilight Blue dipped interior. He was supposed to take museum delivery this week but was called for work out of the Country so he arranged enclosed shipping from the museum to his Texas home. Equipment: 3LZ, Z07 ultimate performance pkg, visible carbon fiber Aero, Competition seats, stealth interior, red engine intake, visible carbon fiber roof, engine lighting, front lift, level 2 carbon fiber trim, black exhaust tips, black spider forged aluminum wheels and more!
~Joshua G. of Hoover, Alabama had the Red Carpet rolled out today by the Museum Staff as he took delivery in Bowling Green, KY of his new Silver Flare 2024 Corvette Z51 coupe with Adrenaline Red interior. I’d say he will have a permagrin that will last a long time after today’s Corvette Museum delivery. Equipment: 2LT, GT2 buckets, red engine cover, front lift, magnetic ride, edge red calipers, black exhaust tips, Z51, Red seat belts and more.
~Bob S. of Waynesville, North Carolina flew up yesterday afternoon with his neighbor and my Corvette customer Ron for two reasons: Dinner at Firebirds last night and to take delivery of his factory ordered Amplify Orange 2024 Eray coupe! As you can tell from the pictures that fun was had by all. Their Uber driver was not so good last night so I drove them back to their hotel at 8pm and then picked them up at 6:30am for the drive in to Criswell Chevrolet. Equipment: 2LZ, two tone Natural/Black interior, GT2 buckets, Orange calipers, polished wheels, transparent roof and much more!

~Only “56” produced and this is #7! Tim T. of Setauket, New York left his Long Island home with his brother at 4am this morning in his Silverado 6500 rollback that I sold him a few years ago. I have sold Tim approximately 80 vehicles since December 2009. Today was a special day so I met Tim and his brother on my day off so that they could load up this “Garage 56 “edition 2024 Camaro ZL1 coupe in Riptide Blue Metallic with Jet Black/Red accents…the only combo that all 56 were produced. All are 6 speed manual transmissions. Take a look at #7 as I took a ton of photos and a few videos.

I have one question Mike,didn’t you sell any C4 Corvettes?I loved your gallery of pictures but not one C4 in the whole article.Ive owned my 1990 C4 covertable since 1991 and its a great car and has served me well,Just asking😢
You know Frank that’s a real good question
Frank- Mike did include a picture of a rare Copper Metallic 94 C4 on the assembly line. It was one of my favorites this week.
Mike, I like the Shriners with their gold 1969 Corvettes as they take delivery! I know the guy who delivered these cars (each year!) from his family’s dealership! He has all the history records of these cars if you know someone who has a shriner car! Steve Reese
