Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for July 19

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.

Congratulations to my friend Mike Furman for reaching his 7,000th new Corvette delivery! You can see pictures and videos of the milestone delivery below. I love the fact that it was a surprise for the customer who had no idea she was gifted a Corvette from her husband, and it was all arranged by her father who took delivery of number 6,999. We also have a couple other new deliveries to share and then Mike put up a bangin’ collection of throwback and vintage pics for your scrolling pleasure. 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.

~#7000…in my 49 years selling Corvettes I have never done a Father/Daughter double delivery until today. The best part is Amy of Redding, CT did not know she was getting a Corvette as she believed her Father was going to be my 7,000th Corvette delivery. Not a dry eye in the house when I put the spotlight on Amy taking delivery of a brand new Corvette, ordered by her Father and paid for by her husband. 100+ in attendance as the announcement was made. Gifts galore and smiles all around! Keep an eye out for Zipity Dud’s you tube video for full coverage.

~My 7,000th Corvette delivery is now in the books. Enjoy the photo dump from the morning. A big thank you to Jeff Duda “Zipity”, Keith Cornett “Corvette Blogger” and Steve “the Corvette today podcaster” as they all were involved in gifting me the #7000 Corvette trophy:

~Here is Zipity’s video of the delivery:

~For each milestone delivery – 3,000-7,000 – I have reached out to several vendors from across the Nation to fill the trunk of the fortunate delivery. I also invite several Corvette Clubs from the surrounding states to join in on the fun. The morning of July 18th has been on my radar the last few months and now it’s a foregone conclusion that my 7,000th Corvette delivery is slated between 8:45am and 10:15am 7/18/26. I have several deliveries that morning and the parking lot will have plenty of spots for “Corvette parking.” I also plan on displaying my Riptide Blue 2026 Corvette ZR1X split window coupe, vin 00010.

~The list of vendors participating is incredible as some really cool items have been donated this year.

Adams Polishes; Adam has outdone himself as he had a case (24) of Furman #7000 Detail spray produced along with a plethora of cleaning products and towels.(see pics) Adam also wrote an incredible dedication on the flip side of his detail spray.
Ron Fellows Spring Mountain racetrack has gifted a $1,000 certificate for the two day school in Pahrump, Nevada and a cool Spring Mountain shirt.
Mobil 1 Racing has gifted many different items for participating folks that travel in to attend and of course for the lucky #7000 Corvette owner.
Ohio Metal chair; John Brandt has produced several one off #7000 chairs for the new owner.
Chesapeake Car Wash and Detail center has gifted a trunk full of items worth thousands.
AEROLARRI Wheels have donated gift certificates not only for the fortunate 7,000th Corvette but for “all that attend…” $277 off any set of AEROLARRI wheels…and $500 off a set of AEROLARRI wheels for lucky owner #7000.
Novistretch front car bra and mirror covers.
Criswell Chevrolet Awesome support as always.
GM, Mary Barra; High-Level Corporate Praise from General Motors CEO Mary Barra as she has already sent me a personal congratulatory letter on official GM stationery to mark the occasion. This is the third time she has personally recognized my milestone deliveries
~ Other C8 Deliveries during the week:

~Robert W. of Lebanon, OHIO placed his factory order for a brand new Torch Red 2027 Corvette Stingray Z51 Coupe. Yesterday the Museum staff rolled out the red carpet for his special Corvette delivery day. Equipment: 2LT, Competition seats, stealth interior trim, magnetic ride, Z51, high wing spoiler, red calipers, 10 spoke gloss black wheels and much more.

~Julie W. of Eagle, Michigan usually cruises in with Tina to pick up a new vehicle but this time her Father was her co- pilot. Julie and Tina have bought 3 new Corvettes and 2 new trucks not to mention they have joined me out at Spring Mtn race track a few times!?? They flew in last night and we had dinner at Firebirds. This morning they were in and out in less than 30 minutes. Julie had spotted this Arctic White with Santorini Blue interior 2026 Z06 Convertible in my inventory so we made a deal on the phone and completed the paperwork/payment process this morning.

The “Michigan gals” now have higher horsepower to have much fun with…and they will have FUN!

7000 WOWZER!!!!
I like the heads on shot of a Chromed up C1 wih Zora as a passenger. Either Zora & his driver had unusually large heads or it really showcases how small the C1’s actually were.
