7/1/18 Corvette delivery post(all over the USA)and old Vett pics*Mike Furman@Criswell
~Friday was take your Corvette to work day due to the anniversary of the very first Corvette that was built in Flint, MI.
I was off Friday but did go in to work for a few hours and then took my 67 Corvette for a nice ride in the countryside.
*Today thru July 8th I will be out of the office and on vacation. I figured with the Corvette Plant closed for it's vacation
would be a good time for me to escape as I average several truckloads of Corvettes being trucked in for stock and sold
orders weekly.
~Heavy on deliveries to folks all over the USA this week. I had a dozen get drop shipped all over the Country and will post
those pics as I receive them. Take a look below and some of my deliveries this week at Criswell.
~Todd R. of Buffalo, Minnesota called me 7 weeks ago to find out what his Laguna Blue 2014 Corvette would be valued at towards a factory order. We made a deal over the phone and Monday we met for the first time as Todd and Lorraine drove 1,125 miles to Criswell to make the exchange. Todd selected a 2LT Pkg Sebring Orange Grand Sport equipped with 7Spd manual trans, CF painted Ground effects Pkg, Center Heritage stripe, cf badge Pkg, Black Wheels, Black microfiber seat inserts and much more. They were looking forward to the cruise home in their new ride.
~Ken G. of Georgetown, KY and I met at the Corvette Bash this past April. We were introduced by a mutual friend, Adam of Bowling Green, KY. Ken and I hit it off as we are both Golfers. Ken placed his factory order for a Sebring Orange Grand Sport 7 weeks ago and this past week he flew in to Maryland to drive home his new beauty! Ken put 82,000 miles on his 2014 Corvette so his ride back to Kentucky was a walk in the park. Ken ordered his GS with 2LT Pkg, CF badge Pkg, Auto trans, Black Wheels, Navigation/PDR and much more. Ken stopped by Greenbriar Country Club on the way home and sent me pics of his ride home and in his garage.
~David S. of Adamstown, MD has been following my Corvette delivery posts for a few years. David came in Thursday seeking either a Sebring Orange GS or an Admiral Blue/Red GS...he liked them both but then I took him to our underground storage where he spotted a Race Yellow 2019 Grand Sport...one look is all it took. His new Race Yellow GS is equipped with: 2LT Pkg, Auto trans, Satin Black Jake stinger hood stripe, CF badge Pkg, Yellow calipers, Black Wheels, CF painted mirrors and much more! Exchanged emails with him today and he is thrilled with his Corvette choice.
~Barry L. of Waterloo, Iowa placed his 2019 Grand Sport factory order with me and I had it drop shipped to his local Waterloo, Iowa Dealer. It didn’t take long for Barry to have it race ready especially since Barry is a frequent track driver. This Sebring Orange GS is equipped with: 2LT Pkg, Competition Seats, CF ground effects, Jake Stinger stripe, CF badges, Black Wheels, Navigation/PDR and Z07 ultimate performance Pkg!
~
Dan W. of East Brunswick, NJ has followed my Corvette deliveries on the Forums so this week he reached out to me and picked out a Blade Silver 2019 Z06. This is Dan’s 3rd Corvette and 2nd C7 Z06! Dan drove down 200 miles today and loaded his new Z06 on his trailer. 1LZ Pkg, Adrenaline Red Seats, Auto trans and Black Wheels make this Silver Z06 pop!
~Some other deliveries this week...
~Some interesting trades to say the least...
~Had some nice gifts from some customers. Dave C. from Springfield, Ohio sent me edible fruit and Tom M. from Annapolis, MD
sent me a great Caps hat and puck. Tom is a Washington Capitals Radio/TV analyst.
~The Frank Class Corvette barn find and throwback section...extra pics this week as I am not sure if I will post next Sunday or not due to my vacation week.
Please post up which pics you like best.
May your travels this week be safe and don't forget the Corvette wave!
~I will be sitting in a chair much like this watching the waves roll in!

Congrats. to all the new owners, Corvettes and other models too!
Thanks for another great week of stories and pictures Mike!
Enjoy your time off, and hoping everyone has a safe, July 4th Holiday!
Since the '53 started production not too far from my location, and the American Sports Car was born at the end of June, this is my favorite this week.
