~I figure that I have read the last 480 issues of Hemmings Motor News cover to cover...does that make me a car expert? Absolutely not. But 40 years of owning Corvettes and selling Corvettes certainly helps me help my customers Nationwide. When I say I sell Nationwide, it means I have sold Corvettes to clients in every State and many Countries outside of the US. I can't export new Corvettes but GM does allow me to sell used Corvettes across the borders. I work for Criswell Chevrolet which is in Maryland...but I have delivered close to 350 Corvettes to California residents the last few years. It can only happen for one main reason, Experience. After 40 years of doing what I do I have seen most every situation or received most every question. Right now I have 40+ Sold orders in the build process at the Corvette Plant and 80% will be going to
customers outside of a 200 mile radius of Criswell. Check out some delivery stories down below or just tune in every week and read all the names and locations of the new Corvette owners that I post.

~Lynn and June Glover of Walnut, California contacted me several months ago about ordering one of the last available Carbon 65 Edition 2018 Z06 Convt’s...Little did Lynn know at the time how rare this beauty is. Carbon 65 #529 is one of only 5 built with the J57 Carbon Ceramic brakes. Only 72 Carbon 65 Z06 Convts were produced and 15 of them had 7spd manual transmissions.
Lynn and I got to meet last month when I flew out for the day to the LA Auto Show and we took some pictures together. We didn't know when he ordered his new Corvette over the phone cross country that we would have the opportunity to meet, but I'm certainly glad we did.
Lynn’s Z06 Convt is equipped with: 7spd manual, 3LZ Pkg, battery protection pkg and Carbon ceramic Brakes. I had it drop shipped to a Chevrolet dealer near his home in Walnut, CA and this week he and his wife took delivery. Lynn is on Cloud 9 with his special machine.













~Richard M. Of Alma, Arkansas wanted to take the next step in horsepower after purchasing his Grand Sport last year from me. Richard viewed on line a new 2017 Z06 and I gave him an incredible price. Then he needed a sight unseen trade value on the GS with 2,100 miles that he purchased from me last Spring. The numbers worked so the rest is up to Plycon Trucking bringing his GS here 1,160 miles and this beauty of a Z06 to his driveway in Arkansas. Richard picked out a Watkins Glen Gray Z06 Cpe with Black interior, 2LZ Pkg, J57 ceramic brakes, Auto trans, black wheels, CF painted mirrors, Navigation/PDR and he also added the Jake stinger hood Stripe and Z06 floor mats. Plycon should be here tomorrow to make the switch.

A few nice Vette sales this week.

A lot of great Vette photos. Difficult to say which I like best, but I will go with the many colors of mostly American built beauties.

Have a great week.

There are too many split windows/C2s to pick from so I grabbed the one with the most cars in it

If you have any free time the 25 or 26th, I will be in silver springs and would like to stop by and separate ZR1 facts from fiction. Thanks Mike.
