Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for Oct 12

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 action-packed Sunday delivery post from the world’s hardest working Corvette sales rep, our good friend Mike Furman. Mike has a ton of new C8 Corvette deliveries to share including one with a special feature that Mike saw for the first time. He also has a great collection of vintage and throwback photos for your viewing pleasure. He has some photos of the XP54 on Daytona Beach which we have never seen before, and our favorite of the week is a race between the prototype C1 Corvette and a red a car on the beach. You’ll know it when you see it!

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

~C8 Corvette Deliveries for the week!

~Ken and Jane M. of Gibsonia, Pennsylvania have owned a 2008 and a 2017 Corvette(traded in), and today they drove home in their factory ordered Red Mist metallic Tintcoat 2026 Corvette Convertible. You can tell the difference in the 2017 Long Beach Red vs the 2026 Red Mist metallic, both great colors but Red Mist really pops in the sun. Equipment: front lift, 2LT, magnetic ride, edge red calipers, Z51 pkg and 15 spoke polished Aluminum wheels!

~Randy H. of Wynantskill, New York was referred to me to factory order his new Black 2026 Corvette Z06 Convertible with Adrenaline Red dipped interior. I gave him a sight unseen trade in value on his 1,700 mile 2023 Z06 and once his 2026 order was built Randy shipped it down from upstate New York via Plycar trucking. Last night his 2023 Z06 arrived and this morning his new 2026 Z06 was shipped enclosed trailer via Plycar. Equipment: 3LZ, stealth interior trim, Carbon ceramic brakes, bright red calipers, and much more.

~Frank and Tonya I. of New Smyrna Beach, Florida were referred to me and factory ordered a Torch Red 2026 Corvette Z06 Coupe with Sky cool gray interior. Yesterday they had the red carpet rolled out for them at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. Equipment: 3LZ, transparent roof, front lift, bright red calipers, Jake graphics and much more.

*These iconic delivery moments were captured by the National Corvette Museum team. For more behind-the-scenes access to your Corvette’s arrival, the Museum Delivery Team offers, exclusive photo sets and perspectives only they can deliver.

~Gary N. of Marlboro, New Jersey factory ordered from me a new Arctic White 2026 Corvette Z06 Convertible and yesterday the Museum staff rolled out the red carpet for his delivery. I gave him a sight unseen value on his 2022 Corvette and had Plycar trucking ship it to Criswell. Equipment: 2LZ, front lift, bright red calipers, black spider design wheels and more.

~Bob F. of Morrill, Nebraska and I first met at the National Corvette Museum April 2015. He has ordered Corvettes from me ever since. I called him Wednesday late afternoon that his new Riptide Blue Z06 had arrived and Thursday morning he and his Grandson Aaron got in his 24 Z06 that I sold him December 2023 and drove to Criswell 1600 miles and met me at the dealership this morning at 6:30am. I had given Bob a sight unseen trade value a few weeks ago so he was all prepared when he drove in this morning and so was I. This is Bobs 13th Corvette that he has owned.

*Check out the ultra rare option code CF8: Electrochromic dimming removable roof panel. The very first one that I’ve delivered. Equipment:3LZ, front lift, red engine intake, bright red calipers and the interior is Sky cool gray w/Medium ash gray, orange stitching and orange seat belts. Great color combo!

~John S. of Woodbridge, Virginia factory ordered his last two Corvettes from me but today’s delivery is the one that will keep his perma grin ??. The visceral feelings he gets at start up of his new Competition Yellow 2026 Corvette Z06 convertible is off the charts incredible. Today John traded in his 2022 Corvette Convt and I know for a fact will be taking the “long way home”.

Equipment:, Z07 CF Aero and wheel pkg, yellow stitching, stealth interior trim, front lift, yellow calipers, and much more!

~A local business owner has been buying vehicles from me for 24 years. Today Charlie took delivery of a 2026 Silverado Crew cab which will be used at one of the job sites. My guess is Charlie has purchased 80+ trucks/family vehicles from me since 2001. I had him in and out for today’s delivery in under 10 minutes.

~ This week’s Top Corvette Barn finds and throwback pictures from around the globe!

Drive safely and enjoy the week.

My favorite is the pretty pic of the super nice 78 Silver Anniversary with the clear sky and full moon.

I like the 3 pictures with Jonathan Winters, Cesar Romero, & Dan Blocker (Hoss Cartwright) posing with a Corvette.

I vote for the Johnathan Winters photo with apparently his ’74. BTW isn’t anybody buying Stingrays anymore?

This is a great group of Throw-Back pics. I can’t pick my favorite as they are all very KOOL !!!

Sign me up for the Jonathan Winters photo with his ’74 Corvette! I am also a fan of the original Mako Shark Corvette! I last saw this car at Vettes on the Rockies about 20 years ago! Great photos, Mike!
