*Corvette Delivery Post/HEAVY on pics 4/8/18~Barn finds etc*Mike Furman at Criswell**
~Are you able to pick one thing that stands out to you about your Corvette? I can't. The list is endless for me and it starts with the people that you meet along the way. Each and every week I deliver Corvettes to folks from all over the Country...many I will never meet and some I may meet years after I have delivered them several Corvettes. I enjoy meeting Corvette enthusiasts anywhere but especially at Events like The Corvette Bash that is coming up later this month. Held at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY...put it on your bucket list if you have never attended.
I will be at the Corvette Museum this month from April 24th-27th.
~Dr Loreto V. Of Clifton, Virginia was referred to me by a mutual Corvette enthusiast named JJ who now resides in Henderson, NV. Loreto called me this week and had his choice narrowed down to three. They walked our inventory and thought about it for 5 minutes and made a family decision. Loreto and his son drove away happy in under one hour! His choice is a 2019 Torch Red Grand Sport Cpe in Torch Red with two tone Red Seats, Red seatbelts, Auto trans, CF badge Pkg, Red calipers, Black Wheels with red stripe, CF mirrors and 2LT Pkg. Stunning color combo! His wife and son were thrilled as it was a family decision and they chose wisely. Yesterday was the first time we met and we all had fun!
Loreto sent me a few pics after he drove home to Virginia.
~Stephen L. Of Norwalk, CT called me 8 weeks ago to order his dream Corvette. Unable to travel right now(still Winter!) so he chose Plycar Trucking and yesterday they picked up his Corvette and enclose trailered it to his home in Connecticut. Stephen ordered a 2019 Corvette Grand Sport Cpe in Watkins Glen Gray with Spice Red interior, 3LT Pkg, CF badge Pkg, CF instrument panel, Red calipers, 7 spd manual trans and much more. Stephen is a true sports car enthusiast and this Grand Sport will be perfect for all of his driving experiences. If you haven't seen Spice Red interior then it's a must see, stunning color combo with most any paint choice.
~Eric and Julie M. Of Whittier, California called me 9 weeks ago and wanted a Corvette Museum delivery. This past Friday they visited KY all the way from California and drove off with their factory ordered 2019 Z06 Convt in Long Beach Red with Spice Red interior and Black top. This Z06 Convt is loaded. Equip list includes CF ground effects, Auto trans, Black Wheels, Z07 Pkg and 3LZ Pkg! A stunner of a combo!
Here is Eric's own words about their Museum delivery from the road..."Fantastic experience, definitely worth the effort and $"
Look at how good the Spice Red Interior looks on this Convertible!
~Doug and Shelby W. Of Nottingham,MD called me 7 weeks ago to place a factory order for their 7th Corvette. Trading in their 2015 Corvette Z51 Cpe, Lucky #7 is a 2019 Racing Yellow Grand Sport Cpe with 3LT Pkg. This GS is loaded with options: Auto trans., CF Dual Racing stripes, CF badge Pkg, CF Instrument panel, Yellow stitching, Yellow calipers, Black Wheels and much more. Doug and Shelby are members of the Bel Air Corvette Club just North of Baltimore. They were beyond pleased with their special order.
~Tim T. Of East Setauket, NY buys 5-8 vehicles(all new Chevrolets...Vettes, Camaro's, trucks for family and work) per year from me dating back to December 2009. This past week he traded in his 750 mile 2017 Camaro ZL1 for this 2018 ZL1 1LE.
Also being built this coming month is his Sebring Orange 2019 ZR1 Cpe! He travels nearly 5 hours each way from Long Island and I make him glad that he does with each experience.
When Tim sends a flat bed I will meet them at any hour.
~Read up on the Corvette Driving school in Nevada. My favorite track in the USA! Please share this article with all your Corvette friends, fellow club members and enthusiasts.

I can't help but wonder. Every week you show us all these old wonderful photos. Do you have these old photos in photo albums? Do you have any idea how many old Corvette photos you have?

Mike, you sold some extremely nice Vettes this week. I like the Spice Red interior. I am a little surprised we don't see that interior more often.
Getting closer to number 4,000.
There are some very good throw back pictures this week. But being a huge fan of white Corvettes and being a third generation Sooner grad, this week's choice was very easy. Boomer Sooner!
Have a great week!

Not a easy choice most weeks with such great photo's.
I believe this is that builder Kindig Design from Texas that had his paws on this vette?The work that comes out of his shop is probably one of the BEST in the Country right now.His Clean,Low Style is just...WOW!
Huge fan of his work.Thanks for posting..This car is just...Has 600hp.

I have always been a believer in BLACK as the best interior color - but I really must admit that the Spice Red interior on the convertible looked pretty darn good.
The best photo this week is either the green and white C3 or perhaps the overhead view of the 1963 split-window coupe.
I always enjoy seeing the "barn find" pictures of the old Corvettes........but hate to see them wasting away like that. I am not sure what to make of the C4 turned into a 4x4, though.
P.S. We had a mixture of sleet & snow here last night, but it is sunny this morning. I think a drive in my Corvette is in order this afternoon. I could not drive it last weekend because of bad weather - so it will be twice as nice to take it out on the road today.

i like the picture of the young lady standing beside the yellow mid-year roadster with the plain trailer house in the background. It reminds me of the old days when I was 21 years old and had a 1969 Corvette roadster which had taking a good portion of my paycheck to make the payments. I really like the old Corvette pictures. Thanks for sharing Mike and keep on selling those new Corvettes!
