51 yr old dream becomes reality with Corvette delivery*PICS/Story and more*****
~JJ and his wife of Fairfax, VA came into Criswell Chevrolet 7 weeks ago and were so excited to be there. I see this type of reaction often but this time was a bit different. I inquired and JJ responded that when he was growing up in the Philippines he first viewed a Stingray in 1964. He remembers it was a 1963 Split Window and from that day on he dreamed of the day that he would own a Stingray. His Factory ordered Arctic White with Red/Black Stingray Convt arrived the other day and his Boss asked why isn't he there to see it? So the two of them(The Boss is a Corvette owner) drove up to see his new Corvette in person. Yesterday they took delivery and miles of smiles are expected.
~Jimmy D of Medina, Ohio factory ordered a Night Race Blue with Kalahari 3LT 7spd Stingray cpe. He reached out to me thru the Corvette Forum and yesterday he flew in and drove home. This is a must see color combo!
~Sheldonna P of Clinton, MD has owned Corvettes before and 7 weeks ago we put together her special order of Laguna Blue with Gray interior and the Chrome wheels with ZF1 pkg. Shelly could not have been happier seeing her new Corvette.
~Jack S of Des Moines, Iowa reached out to me to Factory order his Silver Stingray Convt. These pictures are of it as it arrived to the courtesy delivering dealer in Iowa. Sharp Combo.
~Frank D of Arden, NC reached out to me thru the Corvette Forum this week and thankfully he called me yesterday morning instead of the afternoon to finalize the purchase. Frank scooped up this Velocity Yellow Cpe just before another customer. Plycon Trucking will be delivering this to him after the paperwork gets Fed Ex'd.
~Jeff M of Boulder Creek, Calif took Corvette Museum delivery of his Laguna Blue Convt last week and he shared these pictures with me.
In his own words-"Mike :road trip pics. The best experience. The best ride. Best sales guy! I could not have imagined it better! And the Vette is just the best! It is truly a world class car. Thanks for your help in all of this!"Thanks Jeff
~This Black and Dark Gray Z06/Z07 3LZ Convt is headed to Oklahoma.
~Zac V of Brooklyn, NY bought a 2011 Callaway Convt from me 4 yr ago
and decided to drive 4 1/2 hrs down to Criswell in Maryland the other day to get his oil changed and some warranty work done...and he brought me a bottle of wine!
~Gary C of VA picked his Z06 up at the Museum and stopped by to get some minor tweaking before heading to Ohio to Race.
~Some Pics around the dealership this week...truckloads come in weekly...which is a good thing.
Red is popular in the service lane last Wednesday.
~Friday Morning at 6am I drove up to Gettysburg, PA in my 2015 Z06. I knew I would pass over the 500 mile mark (owned this Z since Dec 4th 2014) so Yes I know I should drive it more but I'm a tad busy at work.

I am always amazed at the number of C7's in your lot. I wish we had a high volume dealer like this in Canada that I could visit and buy one off the lot.

There is a reason why white is the top dog color in 2015.
Hmmmmm...... so you sold a 2015 C7 to an Ohio customer...... who lives right in the backyard of another nationally well known Corvette dealer. And that customer flew to Criswell to take delivery?!
Really like that NRB/Kalahari combo. NRB is moving up the popularity color chart.
Hope you have more 2015 C7's coming in for stock before production ends at B.G. for 2015...... your new 2015 C7 inventory appears to have been whittled down a bit from last weeks sales.

I called the so called Big Dealer in Ohio and talked to their top salesman RCC. Talked to him 3 times mid March ready to order. Got the I'm so busy, Z51's tough to get, I'll get back to you. Never called back.....I think he was out of allocations at the the time. Should have just said so. Called Mike morning of 3-17 left message. He called me back ordered car driving to lunch....Done. He will get my business going forward.
