~William P. of Destin, Florida called me up last week as he found in my inventory a Red Mist 2026 Z06 Convertible with the Sky cool gray/Black two tone interior. We made a deal over the phone and completed the paperwork/payment process via Fed Ex. William hired a transporter and they loaded it last night for the trip South on Rt 95 and it should arrive in Florida tomorrow. Equipment: 2LZ, GT2 buckets, front lift, edge red calipers, 2 tone seats and more.

~Felix B. of Georgetown, Texas factory ordered from me his new Arctic White 2026 Corvette Stingray Coupe with Natural interior. Yesterday the Museum staff in Bowling Green rolled out the red carpet for his special delivery. Fun was certainly had by all and the weather was perfect. Equipment: 2LT, GT2 buckets, red engine cover, front lift, performance exhaust, low rear spoiler, and 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 S. of Sparks, Nevada reached out across the US of A to place his special order for a Red Mist Tintcoat 2026 Z06/Z07 Coupe with the R6X custom interior.

~6:37am Saturday 5/23/26~ Late yesterday a Sold Order Quail Silver Limited Edition (#24) arrived and it was filled with high test and swiftly brought inside. Today it will get PDI’d by our Corvette certified technician and delivered to a local businessman this coming week. Yes, sold at MSRP which is $290,040. That is the highest MSRP that I’ve ever seen for any Chevrolet and I’ve been doing this almost 49 years! To say it’s loaded is an understatement.

~Amy T. of Redding, Connecticut certainly knows the way down Rt 95 to Criswell Chevrolet as her Father has bought 90+ Chevrolets from me since December 2009! She has accompanied him approximately 15 of those 90+vehicles. Today Tim(her Father) drove her down in his 2026 ZR1 so that he could pass the 500 mile break in point. Amy factory ordered a Black 2026 Tahoe High Country 4WD with Mocha interior. It’s about a 5 hour ride from Tim’s Long Island home and 6hours from Amy’s Connecticut home and they were 45 minutes early for their 9am appt. I had them headed back North before we officially opened the showroom at 9am.

~Aris M. of Venice, Florida has bought his family vehicles from me for the last 25 years. Last night he flew in and this morning he took delivery of a Black 2026 Suburban High Country 4WD.
