Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for Sept 1st

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.

With the Caravan and the 30th Anniversary in full swing last week, Mike shared some photos from the archives showing the first Corvette caravan and Grand Opening of the National Corvette Museum. As much as things change, they still manage to stay the same! Mike also shares a few great deliveries including our friend Jeremy Welborn who does a “re-delivery with this 2024 E-Ray. Make sure you check out all the throwbacks and let us know your favorites in the comments below.

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

~I’ve posted this video before but it’s so darn cool so here it is again. Home movie in color, October 1959 for 25 1960 Corvette deliveries straight from the St Louis Corvette plant and driven back to New Jersey Road Rallye style. The very first Corvette plant tour and delivery process courtesy of Malcolm and Florence Konner.

~I can now say that I have met each of the 6 Corvette Chief Engineers in my 47+ years selling Corvette’s . This past weekend I met Tony Roma, as he took over for Tadge Juechter this Summer. Looking forward to seeing Tony Roma’s vision over the next coming years. “Go Team Corvette!”

Tony Roma August 2024-
Tadge Juechter 2008-2024
Tom Wallace 2005-2008
David Hill 1992-2005
Dave McLellan 1975-1992
“Zora” Arkus-Duntov Retired 1975

~1994, the very first Corvette Caravan…Zora and Elfie Duntov and other luminaries.

~1994…in the beginning…the very first Corvette caravan and one of the starting points was at Malcolm Konner Chevrolet in Paramus, NJ. Gary Konner helped orchestrate and did a great job to start off Caravan #1. The Konner family even donated the 2nd Corvette ever donated to the National Corvette Museum. I’m standing next to it in the museum, a 1986 Corvette Commemorative Malcolm Konner special edition…1 of only 50 produced.

~Want to have the best odds of winning a brand new Corvette and help the Bowling Green Fire Department? How does a 1 in 911 chance sound? Only $150 for 1 raffle ticket and you can buy multiples to increase your odds. Last year my Florida customer was the lucky winner and he was watching his winning ticket get called from his home computer. The Corvette raffle not sold out…the banquet is sold out.

A conversation about the 2025 ZR1, the Z06 and Corvette orders with Mike Furman.

~C8 Corvette Deliveries for the week:

~Jeremy Welborn of Lawton, Oklahoma factory ordered his 5th Corvette from me and took Delivery in KY at the Corvette Museum a few weeks back. He was just 90 miles North at The Corvette event in Carlisle, PA so he made an appointment with me to visit Criswell Chevrolet of Gaithersburg, Maryland. Check out his Amplify Orange with Artemus interior 2024 Eray Corvette Convertible. I would venture to guess this is the only 2024 Eray produced in this color scheme. Jeremy had the louder exhaust installed at the Corvette event this past weekend.

~Fantastic color combo on this new 2024 Z06 Coupe headed to Florida this week. Sea Wolfe Gray Metallic with Natural interior. Stunning all around!

~Johnnie F. of Katy, Texas factory ordered from me this Torch Red 2024 Corvette Z06 coupe with Natural interior. We just completed his paperwork via Fed Ex and the vehicle arrived and was filled with gas and prepped by the Corvette service team here at Criswell. Plycar trucking will load it up for its enclosed trailer ride to Katy, Texas. Equipment: 3LZ, red engine intake, bright red calipers, black exhaust tips, machine faced aluminum wheels, carbon Aero pkg and more.

Quote from Johnnie…”You’re the man Mike, thank you for everything. I have to be honest. I have never purchased a vehicle this easily.”

~Charlie P. of Gaithersburg, Maryland has bought 100+ new vehicles from me since we first met in 2002! He owns a local company so he is always checking out our inventory and today he drove away this Blue 2024 Chevrolet Silverado.

~ This week’s Top Corvette Barn finds and throwback pictures from around the globe! “Where has the Summer gone?”

Drive safely and enjoy the week.
