Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for Jan 5th

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 to 2025, Corvette friends! Today is the last day of Christmas/New Years vacation for many including the workers at Bowling Green who will be back to work building our dream cars on Monday. Mike was still busy during this week, and he shares one of his favorite deliveries from the year, which unfortunately doesn’t count towards his Corvette sales totals. Mike also has a great new collection of vintage and throwback photos to start your year off right. 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.

~6:45am Saturday January 4th. I start the first weekend of the new year in my Chevrolet office bright and early and then tonight I will attend the Holiday Party for the Corvette Annapolis Club in Davidsonville, Maryland.

~ Sebring 1964: The Corvette Grand Sport would make its debut at Sebring in 1964 with 3 privately entered cars…the one we’re looking at today is the #2 entry. The Grand Sport was entered by John Mecom. He brought in A.J. Foyt and John Cannon to drive the car. The car ran very well for the first 9 hours of the race and they were able to keep it in the top 10 for most of that time. From what I’ve read, right near the 9th hour, they lost a wheel and spent close to 2 hours off the circuit before getting it fixed and back up to speed for the final hour to finish the race. With all the trouble, they were still able to finish 23rd overall.

~12/31/24~As 2024 comes to a close today I thought I would look back at one of my favorite deliveries of the 2024 calendar year. Feb 10th was the delivery date and here’s the story. (No, this delivery did not count towards my total deliveries in GM’s books!)

~”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!”

Happy New Year!

~Ken H. of Madison, Mississippi factory ordered from me his new Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat 2025 Z06 coupe and I had Plycar trucking enclose trailer it to his Mississippi home. Ken sent me these pictures for all to enjoy and he is thrilled with his new Z06! Equipment: 3LZ, Stealth interior trim, engine lighting, front lift, Carbon ceramic brakes, black exhaust tips and much more.
