Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for June 21

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.

Happy Father’s Day to all that dads out there today! This week Mike puts the spotlight on a special R8C Museum delivery. He shares some others included some great Corvettes from Saturday’s annual summer show by the Gaithersburg Corvette Club and we also get a great collection of throwback and vintage pictures as well.

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

~GBurg Corvette Club has been sponsored by Criswell Chevrolet since 1992. I accepted an award on behalf of Criswell Chevrolet and also placed my vote for favorite car choice representing the ballot for Criswell Chevrolet of Gaithersburg, MD. Proceeds are earmarked for several local charities. 90 Corvettes in attendance and the weather was picture perfect. Kudos to all the members of the GBurg Corvette Club for a well run event.

~Chairman of the Board of GM, Mary Barra has now graciously sent me three letters for my milestone deliveries, 5,000, 6000 and coming very soon (inside 30 days) Corvette #7000. I don’t take this lightly as I feel honored that Mary Barra would first email me and then follow up with a letter on her stationary mailed via postal service to Mr Criswell here at the dealership. I had the letter laminated and will bring it with me to all Corvette Events like Carlisle, PA etc. But in the meantime, if you’re in the Criswell Chevrolet area on the morning of July 18th please come by for my 7,000th Corvette delivery. The lucky #7000 Corvette delivery customer will get a trunk full of items valued in the $5,000 range and each Corvette enthusiast that attends July 18th will get a special discount code to save 277 on a set of AEROLARRI wheels!

Come on down and see me at Criswell Chevrolet of Gaithersburg, MD. Exciting times for sure!

~Summer of 2004 I was sent down to VIR racetrack in Southern Virginia to test the yet to be released C6 2005 Corvette. Then again Summer of 2005 I flew out to Phoenix and test drove the New C6 Z06 at Bondurant racetrack. The new C6 Z06 would be released Fall 2005. Late August 2005 I had met up with David Hill, he was the Chief Engineer for the 5th (C5) and 6th (C6) generations of the Chevrolet Corvette. After my discussion with Mr Hill I decided to place an order for a 2006 Z06. I have many pictures from inside the Corvette plant during production and just outside the plant after it passed QC. Once it arrived at Damascus Chevrolet, many pictures were taken throughout the process and it went right into service for pre delivery inspection. When I hopped in it to fill it with gas I noticed the odometer reading displayed 1 mile! Very few times that has happened and I had to look twice to make sure. I wrapped up the paperwork and drove it the 8 miles home. As you can tell I have always documented many Corvette deliveries dating back to the 70’s and 80’s. I just wish Hurricane Sandy October 2012 wouldn’t have wiped out much of my files among other things. Enjoy the pics and story. Hard to believe this was 20+years ago.

~One of the coolest Corvette stories! Click on link for all pics and story on Gus Grissom’s 1965 Corvette. I wish my Father had been into cars!

~Thanks to my customer Glenn from Arizona as he has made approx two dozen of these short AI clips on my behalf. I will start posting them daily leading up@to my 7,000th Corvette delivery mid July.

~Kevin C. of Las Vegas, Nevada has ordered from me in the past but this time he wanted to go to the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY for his delivery process. Last week he had the red carpet rolled out for his new Roswell Green metallic 2026 Corvette Z06/Z07 Convertible. Equipment: 2LZ, black interior with red stitching, Carbon flash full length dual racing stripes, front lift, black spider design wheels, Carbon aero, Z07 ultimate performance pkg, and much more!

~ This week’s Top 100 Corvette Barn finds, old Racing stills, Ads and throwback pictures from around the globe!

Drive safely and enjoy the week.

My favorite is the pic of the prom couple standing beside the sharp looking red C3.

I like the very clean looking Polo White C1 parked beside the Beige building.

I got a chuckle seeing the 65/66 coupe with the deer on the hood. Check out the snow tires on the rear wheels. Been there, done that !!!!
