Default Corvette~"Perpetual Emotion Machine" March 12th delivery week Pics/stories***

~The ad for the C3 stated: "Perpetual Emotion Machine"...which really sums it up perfectly. I think about that ad slogan often as I deliver Corvette's Nationwide. The people that I meet have so much enthusiasm for the Corvette...and the feeling is mutual.

~David K of Chester, NY placed his order with me Feb 12th for his very first Corvette. A 2016 Laguna Blue Stingray and he asked my opinion about buying the Photo Album of his Corvette as it gets built. I really was for it especially since I could tell his excitement thru the phone as we have never met. Below are some of his Corvette build Pictures as his Stingray got completed this past Wednesday. Ask David how important Corvette selling experience and a large allocation is if you ever see him on the road with his Laguna Corvette.







~Robert T from King George, VA came by Criswell about 45 days ago and he viewed our Z51 Corvette inventory top to bottom and we even took a test drive. He tried to order his Corvette locally but they could never get an allocation for what he was seeking. He called me up Friday morning, even though I was off I happened to be in the office delivering a couple of trucks. He said he wanted a Black/Black Stingray Z51 with Chrome Wheels...and he picked it up yesterday. He gifted his 2003 Z06 to his Son in Law and drove home in his new C7.








~Some other Corvette deliveries this week...




~Many of my Corvette customers buy other vehicles from me. Below are some pictures of just this past week's "other deliveries". Criswell has 9 different brands on two campus's so I stay busy and I am one of the only Sales rep's allowed to cross sell all the other brands.

~Tim from Long Island, NY has bought 6 Corvettes from me, several Camaro's and a dozen trucks. Friday he took the 5 hour drive down with two co workers.

~Gary is a Corvette customer and picked up a stick Camaro SS.

~Mike picked out the family car, Impala...and he factory ordered it.

~Chris was referred to me by a Corvette customer and drove home in a 3,000 mile 2015 SS.

~Couple other Corvette customers getting trucks...



~I even delivered a new Dodge van to The Washington Nationals and they had it wrapped.



~My Good friend's son had a minor mishap with his Corvette...Timmy said all is OK and easily fixed by Uncle Chas.



~C7R #488 of 500 just arrived Thursday and it's available. Call my desk direct line for details 301-212-4420. This 2016 Z06 special edition is cooler than the other side of the pillow.






~Old ads/Throwback pics/celebrity's and their Vette's/ Barn finds...











~Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo were customers of Malcolm Konner Auto back in the day.




~Zora at Malcolm Konner Chevrolet Corvette show, The Grand Master.



~Last of the C6's....










~My good friend and Corvette customer...Rock dressing up for the St Patty's Day parade yesterday.















~Find the Corvette...













~Corvette truckloads arriving weekly...Call my desk direct line 301-212-4420 or email mfurman@criswellauto.com



~Have a great Sunday!!

Your "weekend updates" are great. I snagged your pic of the 63 split window and P51 Mustang for my Facebook calling them "my two favorite things with an engine".

I wonder if you, or any other reader of this, ever have come across pictures from the former Byrne Brothers Chev in White Plains NY or former A&C Chev in Fort Montgomery NY.
Both dealers sold a lot of corvettes back in the day - to West Pointers and wealthy Westchester County residents.
I prepped quite a few corvettes for delivery when I was in college working at Byrne Bros.

PS - I bet Eddie Murphy wishes that picture didn't exist

Looks like lots of Laguna Blue getting built since it is going away. Glad I got mine.

Mike is NOT a car salesman - he's a friend that has connections to getting you a corvette. That's how I felt and feel.

Thank you Mike. You've made the entire process from the very first contact on.....a total pleasure.

You will always be a part of my corvette experience and I'm thankful for that.

Really like the lead story: first-time buyer of Corvette. Are first-timers a big percentage of people you see?

I also found, not the Corvette, but the Olds.

Do I have this correct, Mike....you've delivered FOUR different generations of Corvettes? C3-C7?
