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.
Thanks for joining us today! For this week’s delivery dispatch, Mike shares a couple new owners taking delivery of their Corvettes. As we led with Virgil’s Hysteria Purple Stingray, I’m thinking that’s the last time we’ll see that color on a new Corvette as it’s now officially retired. But instead of feeling sad, take a look at the great collection of throwback and vintage pics assembled by Mike for your scrolling pleasure. There are some really good ones here with my favorite being the 1963 Convertible captured straight on as it’s running an autocross.
You can see all of Mike’s posts and pictures through the week on his CorvetteFurman Facebook Page.
~June 20th, 2026…The GBurg Corvette Club hosts “The Corvette Innovation Fun Show”. Actually 7 Fun shows in one. Criswell Chevrolet of Gaithersburg, MD has been the Club Sponsor since 1992. Registration starts at 9am with free T shirt to the first 50 registered. Partial proceeds will benefit the GBurg club charity, Stepping Stones Shelter.
~ I have a great Brooke Shields story from 1985/86 about a Gold C4 Corvette much like this one pictured. I was leaning up against a Gold Corvette reading the NY Daily News waiting for my buddy one Sunday morning. Brooke grew up in the same County as me and walked outside the gym and passed me in the parking lot and quipped” great color Corvette!”.
Truly a cool moment in time!
~We need “Anniversary Gold” to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Corvette for the 2028 model year. Actually I’ve been saying this for many years as has John E. Of Oregon.
~C8 Deliveries for the Week:
~James H. of Daleville, Alabama took delivery of his new 2026 Eray Corvette via Plycar trucking. James couldn’t wait to see his two Corvettes paired together and neither could I. Big difference from a C3 to a C8 as his latest email states.
Mike,
“These two Corvettes look so good together, it makes me smile to see that one has a cupholder and the other don’t, however, the other one has an ashtray and cigarette lighter and the other don’t. One also has 190 horsepower and the other has 655 horsepower, what a difference several generations make.
Mike did I mention that…. I LOVE MY NEW CHEVROLET CORVETTE E-RAY!!!
And I will forever say and believe… YOU’RE THE BEST!!!Thank YOU and Criswell Chevrolet so much.”
Sincerely yours,
James
~Virgil R. of Florence, South Carolina called me up Monday and we made a deal over the phone for this in stock Hysteria Purple 2026 Corvette Coupe. His only other Corvette he ever owned was a 1991 Coupe.
Virgil drove up in a rental car today and I helped him take it to Enterprise so that he would have clear sailing driving his new 2026 Corvette back to South Carolina. Equipment: 1LT, black exhaust tips, performance exhaust, 5 split spoke satin graphite w/machined edge forged aluminum wheels.
~ This week’s Top 100 Corvette Barn finds, old Racing stills, Ads and throwback pictures from around the globe!
I will be in Bowling Green, KY May 31st-June 3rd for Corvette meetings. Most likely will be driving the the new 2027 Grand Sport on track as well. Stay tuned!
Drive safely and enjoy the week.

![[ACCIDENT] Good Samaritans Rescue an Australian C8 Corvette Driver After it Burst Into Flames The driver of this C8 Corvette Stingray was very lucky as two good Samaritans rushed to free him from his burning car after an accident turned it into a massive fire.](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/uploads/2026/09/091526_11-1-218x150.jpg)

My favorite is the orange 72 LT-1.
I like the the girl sitting on the left front fender of a ’62 conv with all of the trophies it has won along the cars full length & the engine bay of the big plenum Fuel Injection engine.
I like the Steak and Shake photo, brings back some good memories.
The wheels-up silver ’68 Corvette is first. The patriotic house blue or black mid-year corvette coupe is #2
