Default Delivery Post August 20th- Pics, stories, barn finds and much more*Mike@Criswell

~Anticipation...just like my Corvette customers for the past 39 years that can't wait to pick up their new or used Corvette...I am the same way every year before the Corvettes at Carlisle event in Carlisle, PA. If you are reading this post then you are into Corvettes...and if you are into Corvettes then you have to put attending Corvettes at Carlisle at least once in your life on your Bucket List. I will be there this coming Thursday the 25th at 7am thru Saturday late afternoon. I will have my 2016 Laguna Blue and Twilight Blue Z06 parked at the Spring Mountain Race Track Tent and will be there most of the time. Saturday at 1:30pm I will be delivering an Admiral Blue and Twilight Blue 757HP Callaway Z06 at the Callaway Tent. Both tents are right next to GM's tent on the Midway Infield. Please stop by and say Hi. Follow my up to date pictures and video's on my CorvetteFurman Facebook page to see all that's new for 2017...including the 2017 Z06.


~Charles T from Indian Land, South Carolina called me up a few weeks ago and landed on this 2016 Shark Gray Z06 2LZ cpe. I gave him a sight unseen trade appraisal on his '06 Corvette cpe and planned on this past week for driving up and switching cars. His Mother Rebecca took the 460 mile ride up with Charles and two nicer people would be hard to find. It was truly a pleasure meeting and talking with both.











His trade...



~Geoff B from Concord, Calif. had his new 2017 Long Beach Red Z51 Stingray get built last week and he ordered the Photo Album from the Museum as well as doing Museum Delivery. So here are some Pictures on the production line.





~Ben from Herndon, VA has bought his 2nd Callaway Corvette from me and he will be taking delivery at the Callaway Tent at Carlisle on Saturday the 27th at 1:30pm. 757HP...Admiral Blue...twilight Blue interior...doesn't get much better! Check out the progress from inside Callaway Headquarters.






~Darrel and his wife from Spokane, Washington called me 7 weeks ago and told me what they were seeking in a 2017 Grand Sport and that they would be on the East Coast the 3rd week of August. So I placed a stock order for exactly what they were seeking and yesterday they showed up to see our inventory. Perfect timing as a Watkins Glen Gray Grand Sport had just arrived on Thursday and next Wednesday Darrel will return to Criswell and drive West 3,000 miles in his new 2017 Grand Sport.




~Other Corvettes that got delivered this week.







~Saw this plate in the service lane...


~TPW...means Target Production Week. This picture shows my 19 Sold Corvette Factory Orders that all have a TPW of 8/22/16.



~The proverbial Barn find...



and many other old Corvette related pictures...
































~I received an email from Rick in WVA and he said his daughter and her husband has been going thru an Uncle's Estate when they came upon this 1986 Corvette with less than 100 miles on the odometer!!





Drive safe today and Save the Wave...



~Stop by and see me at Criswell-301-212-4420. Now in my 39th year of selling Corvettes.




Mike Furman....I will be out of the office Aug 25th-28th

Mike,

The Admiral Blue coupe with yellow calipers does that have red interior? Sold order or in stock?

So there's 18 other people who were stuck in the contraints with me? I don't know if one post will be able to contain all the deliveries you'll be doing in a couple weeks =D.

Default "Bill" Bader Chevrolet pic

When Bader purchased his CA dealership in 1958, it was somewhat unsightly and wrapped around a gas station. He died in 2009 @ age 89.
