Default *LBR ZR1 Convt. R8C Museum Delivery with Pro pics~Barn finds etc 7/8/18~Mike Furman**

~I return from my vacation Monday the 9th and I am looking forward to being back in my Criswell office as the Corvette Plant opens
up tomorrow as well and it's full steam ahead. The production line will be buzzing along and I have dozens of sold orders getting
built each week. When I say that 80% of my Corvette sales are out of state it also means that I don't get to meet most of my customers...but it doesn't
mean that I don't get to know them. Countless emails and phone calls go in to each Corvette sale that I make and many times friendships
are formed that will last years. Repeat customers, referrals and Forum members are what fuel my sales but the Corvette bond that
is formed from day one is paramount to me. This July 26th will be my 40th Anniversary of selling Corvettes and the start of my 41st year
in the Auto Business...if you think experience doesn't matter in your next Corvette purchase then you should ask any of the nearly 4,100 Corvette
customers that I have...or the 8,000 other vehicles that I have sold. The quote below is one example and the spotlight on one delivery is a man
I look forward to meeting one day. Charlie K. of Medford, NJ...check out his new ZR1.

~Tony C. of New York just posted the following on a DealerRater site: "
Best Car Buying Experience Ever! Mike Furman was amazing! I live in Westchester County, NY which is 400 miles away from Criswell! I purchased my 2019 Corvette based on a recommendation from a friend. He told me the only place to buy this car is from Mike Furman! I am so glad I did. Mike spent 2.5 hours going over the Car with me. I ordered the car and waited 6 long weeks! The car came in exactly as ordered. The price Mike gave me over the phone was the price I paid, no haggling! If you want a Corvette at Criswell Chevrolet then Mike Furman is the only thing that you need to know. Mike is an EXPERT in the Topic of Corvette!!"

*Spotlight on one delivery this week with plenty of pics.

~Charlie K. of Medford, NJ called me last year as he wanted to get in line for a 2019 ZR1 Convt and he found me all over the Internet. Charlie ordered his ZR1 for R8C Museum delivery and this past Friday he picked up his brand new Long Beach Red beauty.
Most people don't travel with an Ex Policeman/Pro Photographer...but Charlie isn't most people...Stephen E. took the flight down with Charlie and got the full Museum experience along with the ability to ride shotgun for the 850 mile ride home to NJ.
This is one Museum delivery that I would have enjoyed attending just for the sole purpose of getting to meet Charlie. We had countless emails and phone calls before, during and after he took delivery as he rode off in to the Sunset.
At one point we figured he was passing approx 100 miles North of my home but it was getting late into the evening so we couldn't get together...but that will happen sooner than later!

Charlie chose Kalahari interior, Black top, CF tonneau inserts, Auto trans, CF painted wheels, CF painted mirrors and 3LZ Pkg and his new ZR1 is stunning. Enjoy the pictures...all the good pics are courtesy of Stephen Edwards.
*Hats off to Larry and Shane at the Corvette Museum as they did another great job with one of my Corvette deliveries.





































~The Frank Class Corvette Barn Find and Throwback section. For those of you that are new...Frank Class was a long time Corvette
customer of mine that enjoyed my weekly posts...especially the old Corvette pics as he owned over 50 Corvettes. Frank bought
a new Corvette from me every year! Sadly Frank passed away 2+ years ago and in his memory I named this section after him.
*So please post up which pic is your favorite which is what Frank would do every Sunday.



























































Enjoy today and take your Corvette for a ride...I know I will in my Marina Blue '67...wave if you see me.

Thanks Mike for another week of photos, and a great story on Charlie's ZR1!

Congrats. to Charlie, as it looks great in the color combination he chose.

Favorite photo would be of the C1's where the red, white, and blue colors we celebrated this past week were also represented.

Welcome back Mike.

Congratulations to Charlie on his new ZR1.

Have a great week.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

The picture of the white C1, with the two attractive young ladies, shows the steering wheel to be on the right side.

I didn't have to get past the first picture to know that would be my favorite.

The Ladies caught my eye first. Then I noticed the right hand drive! Gas filler on the left side of the car as usual.

Default Finally!

A 2019 ZR1 that was in a color other than Orange!

Some of the best NCM pics I have ever seen.

That LBR is stunning, almost like the iconic Candy Apple Red of the 60’s.

Yup, great photog, great venue...... of the greatest Corvette.
