~Yesterday I had 19 appts to talk Corvette...throw in the 50+ emails per day I receive and that will be the first clue Corvette sales are hot. Nothing moves the needle like a great Sports Car with big factory incentives. On the way is the 2019 ZR1 news...Sebring Orange Tintcoat starts being produced Dec 11th, of which I have ordered 15 Corvettes in that color for stock and sold orders and of course more C8 Mid Engine banter. In 40 years of selling the Worlds #1 Sports Car I have never seen the Corvette Horizon to look so darn good! Send me an email if you would like to be put on my monthly Corvette update email list (mfurman@criswellauto.com)
The unique view I have is that the Corvette Plant must be building a heckuva great car if I continue to see conquest sales from former owners of Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes Benz, Audi, BMW etc etc...In all my years I have never seen those buyers not only in the Corvette market, buying a C7 and raving about it!

Spotlight on a couple of deliveries...

~Wayne and Marianne C. Of Ocean City, MD picked out a new 2017 Corvette GrandSport in Black with Brushed alum wheels, 2LT Pkg, Black badges and auto trans! We first met a few years ago at the Ocean City Corvette show. Wayne traded in his 7spd 2016 Black Z06 with just under 23,000 miles and he is thrilled with his new ride!

















~Mr and Mrs. anonymous from PA picked out a new 2017 Corvette Stingray this past week and took delivery Saturday. With Thanksgiving so close the plan is to surprise all the Holiday guests. This 2017 Stingray Cpe is painted Long Beach Red with Black interior, 7spd manual trans, 1LT Pkg, Magnetic Select Ride and performance exhaust. I will post the smiling face pictures at the end of the month.













~Other deliveries leaving the yard...as you can imagine the 20% off Sale on the Corvette engine SS is successful. At the start of the week I had 45+ SS's in stock and in three days delivered 9 SS's! Call 301-212-4420 to find out more about the last of Holden's SS.







Yesterday I sold the very last Black Rose C7 produced...next week a young lady will be taking delivery of this beauty at high Noon...trading in he 2017 Corvette for a 2018.











~The Frank Class Barn Find and Corvette throwback section...got some good pics this week so post up which one is your favorite.




































































































































































~Carlisle Corvette Event this year with my North of the Border friend.






~Thrill to have driven the Camaro Pace Car for the 12 hours of Sebring a few years back!



Have a great week!

Another great Sunday post Mike! That picture of the poor C6 on top of the Toyota Yaris, that happened close to where I live, but it wasn't anyone that I know. The night it happened was pretty cool outside, so I'm sure that cold pavement combined with driving too fast caused that accident. A green Lamborghini suffered the same fate here this week too. You just can't expect summer tires to grip well once it gets below 50 degrees.

Thanks for another great week Mike. It's a great time to be a Corvette fan! this is my favorite for the week.

I tried to post the photo of the blue '64 but it didn't work this week for some reason...

Thanks Mike for another great week of pictures and stories!

Congrats. to all of the new owners, Corvettes and other models and for taking advantage of the great incentives GM has on these cars at this time.

Favorite photo would be the one below, which I believe was taken at the GM DPG in Arizona.......................



Have a great week, and hopefully a busy one making even more people satisfied Chevrolet / Corvette owners............

Sounds like a typical hectic Saturday for The Man! Great pics, brother. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Wow...and we thought all the complaining about the size of the ZR1 wing was bad...wait till they see this exhaust!

bigblock427

There are too many photos I really liked this week. I will go with this one as my favorite.

Have a great week.

Thanks so much for the read and pics. I do enjoy my Sunday mornings with your posts. Thanks much!

That you drove the Camaro pace car at the 12 hours of Sebring. It is all about those 40 years of car dealership connections that you have cultivated!

I believe that the 2016 Laguna Blue ZO6 pictured in this thread with the blue calipers was your last C7 owned.

How ironic/counterintuitive is it that the Chevrolet dealer (Criswell) that currently has the most 2017 C7’s on the ground nationally is in the best position to sell those Corvettes...... with the huge rebates and other incentives announced just last week. Crazy, but having many more ‘17’s rather than ‘18’s has now instantly become a overwhelming competitive advantage.

Thanks for posting all these old photos each week!

Thanks for posting!!

Thanks again, Mike, for a fun Sunday morning exposé.

Let me know when the Sebring Orange, C7 M7 Z51 2LT convertible w/ black interior, black top, and black wheels shows up. That's probably the only thing that could tempt me out of my perfect '14, but I have to actually see it in person first.

Edit: Oh yeah, I know you know it should have black calipers too.

This would be a rebuilder's heaven if found today.





Mike, you have posted some amazing throwback pics over the years but I think this week's are one of my favorite collections.

Great pics Mike.

Could that be "Murray The K", the famous NY disc jockey from NY on WINS and later WCBS FM, sitting in the driver's seat?

Supersonic 427

Great pics and info! Brings back a lot of memories! Thank Mike!
