Default Special deliveries with great pics/story for each~Delivery post 10/8/16 Mike@Criswell

~I was away at Spring Mountain most of the week but I packed a Bakers dozen worth of deliveries from Thursday thru Saturday...and I was officially on vacation!That means this coming week will be really busy. You can follow all my Corvette deliveries/stories and off site Corvette events on my CorvetteFurman Facebook page.

~Joel S. from Hollywood,MD placed his factory order for a 2017 Admiral Blue Grand Sport and last week he picked it up at the Corvette Museum. Joel gets top billing today not only for his great pictures...but his sign that he held up! Nice job Joel and enjoy your dream Vette. Here in his own words...
"Thank you for helping me make a dream come true. Owning a corvette has now been crossed off my bucket list. As a child, I grew up admiring the sweeping lines and performance of the early C3 Stingrays. Over the years my passion grew as a Corvette enthusiast and I always knew I’d own one someday. And let me tell you, that day was AMAZING!!! On 30 September, I took delivery of my 2017 Grand Sport at the National Corvette Museum. From all your help in picking out the options and placing my order, Your support with my purchase and the Museum’s delivery details, it was all a top tier experience. I am one happy customer and proudly enjoying new Admiral Blue baby. Thanks again to you and the whole team at Criswell. Here are some photos of my delivery and a stop along my 800 mile trip from Kentucky to Maryland."









~Marv B. from State College, PA ordered a 2017 Z06 and he wanted to see it get built. So last week he flew down and watched his new Black Z06 get produced and this Tuesday he will do a one way rental and drive home in his '17 Z06. I am sure his sleep pattern is a bit off this weekend!















~Joe O. from Cranberry Twp, PA Factory ordered an Arctic White with Red interior Grand Sport. This Corvette looks amazing in person. The Blue stripe down the middle is perfect.





















~Tim B from Gilbert, Arizona factory ordered his new 2017 Torch Red Corvette to be drop shipped to his local Chevrolet dealer. "Happy customer!!! " was his overjoyed quote!



~Chris H. from Des Moines, Iowa went on the internet and found this Silver '16 Z06 in my inventory...couple calls later we were Fed Ex'ng the paperwork back and forth. His new Z is now on its way to Iowa.









~Grant R. from Sykesville, MD picked out his 5th Corvette from my inventory and traded in his '06 Corvette Convt and '12 Silverado. He and his wife drove home in a '16 Laguna Blue Cpe. Nothing but smiles from these two!











~Brett and Mary Ann from New Market, MD last bought a Corvette from me in 2009...so when they wanted another Mary Ann called this week wanting a '16 White/Red cpe...they drove up and the first Corvette in the row of 100+ was this '17 Sterling Blue with Gray interior Stingray...they test drove the white...and bought the Sterling Blue.









~Some other deliveries this week....










~Our Corvette Service lane yesterday...



~Throw back pics/ barn finds etc...just Corvettes.



























Have a great week!!

Loved this! Thanks for sharing.......and someday fairly soon, there just might be a photo of me on your lot picking up my new 2017 factory-ordered Torch Red 2017 Stingray 2LT with a 7spd manual & performance exhaust.
:-)

I close on my new house (with a garage) November 1st and my current house is finally under contract. Once it sells, I may be making a phone call or possibly paying you a visit.

I'm not a "White" fan on any car however the white corvette with the blue stripe really looked clean as did all the corvettes. But my next one will be an Admiral Blue GS with the white stripe down the center, 7 speed manual!

I'm waiting for my 14 Z51 vert in Limerock Green to "appreciate" in value, LOL.

It's been a horse race up to now but HP isn't everything. The GS is pulling ahead of the Z for me. Especially in red/white/blue.

Thanks as usual Mike.....love the pics. I spent the weekend in Hershey PA at the huge annual AACA meet. Its kind of shocking to see all the C4's on the show field.....but, of course, they are now 25 years old and qualified under AACA rules. Wierd to consider a 2001 ZR1 as an "antique," but it is.
