Joe P of Herndon, VA gets referred to me by unlikely source./pics of delivery.Laguna
This has happened more and more in the past few months(even today) but I thought I would share this story. Joe P of Herndon, VA is a great customer of a Chevrolet Dealer in Northern VA. He went in to see the General Manager of said store to buy himself a new Stingray last week. He was told by that General Manager to call Mike Furman at Criswell because his Dealership will not have a Stingray allocation again until September! So Joe called me up and this past Thursday he bought this slick 2014 Stingray cpe in Laguna Blue with 2LT Kalahari interior and 7spd manual. Today was delivery day at 1pm sharp. I went over everything from head to toe and he was headed back across the bridge to Virginia in no time. He really likes the Rev Match feature!!

All's well that ends well.
Send that referring dealer a Criswell hat so that any future prospective C7 buyers know where to go by just looking at that G.M.
Really nice of that dealer to do that and not play the "inbound waiting game".
I think I remember a dealer in Montana doing that a while back for you as well.
Looks like the inventory on the ground is getting gobbled up by customers in immediate need.

I took the 2014 Stingray color chip chart and put Laguna Blue on top of my 1992 Quasar Blue Metallic...pretty darn close.

Mike you keep this up and Criswell will soon become the leader on the East Coast for Corvette Sales....OK now that you are getting famous, and helping GM out of its finical woes, how about telling the both GM and the factory to start building mine. 
Hope to hear from you on Thursday....

That was very admirable of "said store" to do that since they could have strung the potential buyer along.
