Yup, we were here last September in our home town of Prescott, Az. when you flew in from Maryland, unbeknownst to us, for our 2 day Corvette Car Show.
What a thrill to be walking down the main street here on Whiskey Row with you among the 250 Corvettes here for the show. We could not believe how many past, current, and future Corvette customers walked out from their Corvettes parked at the show to greet you and talk about their cars that they bought from you.
And, yes, we were at lunch with you and Jake L. from Cave Creek, AZ. (just down the road from us here in Prescott) that day when Jake finalized his ZO6 order with you over some great Italian food here at Genovese's. The night before you met up for dinner with a fellow wrestling competitor from your High School and College days at Maryland that you have stayed in touch with over the decades.

Always enjoy your Sunday morning posts Mike! Love the Silver/Kalahari combo ZO6 convertible, but I love them all! Looks like you might of had to shovel a few of those cars out for delivery!

It is great to see all the different color combos customers order. Some dealers don't sell that many Corvettes in five years. Just another weekend of deliveries at Criswell!!!

"In honor of jpee"
He's really got a good point! You give credit to the prep guys, but you are so correct: it takes a whole team of people to get that many cars sold and out the door in many different ways (shipping, museum delivery, courtesty, pdi/then ship, etc.)I did notice one thing: of those Z06s delivered, it looks like 60% are A8 automatic transmission cars. That's got to be a big message to GM and an affirmation that they made the right choice in offering an automatic Z06. And convertibles, too.

You will be livin' the good life with those Pro V's!!! 
Bad news is IF you lose one in the woods.... they will know who hit it there!!!
A few years ago I worked with a golf Pro at Black Butte Ranch, Oregon who did exactly that. A golfer came into the golf Pro Shop after an 18 hole round with several golf ***** in hand with our Pros name on them...... and wondered out loud...... "who is this guy, anyway"? The golfer was from out of town and didn't know of our Pro!

Wow, busy two days you had there Mike! Seeing my car in one of your threads put a huge grin on my face! Can't wait to get to the Museum and see it for the first time. Sending my FedEx package back to Jackie tomorrow!

But it still doesn't help me with which color to chose. I liked the Torch Red then I saw the Laguna Blue, but damn that Silver is a beauty, until you see the Artic White w/red interior, and then................ 
Great pics Mike. The Wifey is wavering a bit, so fingers crossed.

Here you go get a White Convertible with a Blue Top and Red interior with chrome wheels. Then you covered all of your color choices. lol
