Default 9/9/Michele gets 1 of 3 Museum deliveries this week, Pic heavy *Mike Furman@Criswell*

~Artwork....Take a look at any of the pics below, new or old and tell me that the Chevrolet Corvette isn't a piece of Art. If you don't park your
Corvette and then look back at it then you have bought the wrong sports car. How many of you stare at it in your garage from time to time?
Or just clean/polish it just because? That is how I have felt about the Corvette since moment one...and then throw in all the Corvette friends that I have
made along the way...priceless. I am fortunate because I get to make new Corvette friends (plural for a reason) every single day 7 days per week.
No matter where I go, especially at work...or with my Golf buddies...talk always leads to the Corvette World. So today on this rainy Maryland day
and no matter where you live in the world...take a look at your Corvette and tell me it doesn't look good from any angle...you can't because all
Corvettes look great from all views in any color combo. Enjoy my Corvette delivery pics and throwback section today and every day...share this with your fellow
Corvette enthusiasts and club members.

Michele P. Of Cobbs Creek, Virginia learned about me on the Internet and chose to drive the 190 miles to Criswell so she could meet me and place her Factory order in person. This is my 3rd Corvette getting delivered in 24 hrs at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY! Parked at Web Cam #4 she took Museum Delivery of a brand new Shadow Gray 2019 Z06 Cpe. Michele ordered her Z06 dream Corvette with 3LZ Pkg, CF painted ground effects Pkg, CF full length Racing stripes, J57 Ceramic Brakes, 7 Spd manual trans, Black wheels and of course the R8C Red carpet Museum delivery.








~Joe and Kim M. Of Springfield, Ohio called me 7 weeks ago to factory order an Arctic White ‘19 Z06 Convt with Black Competition Seats and Black top. The CF Stinger hood stripe and CF painted ground effects Pkg looks great! Option list includes: chrome badge Pkg, 7 spd manual trans, chrome wheels, Jake Performance air intake, CF painted mirrors, Navigation/PDR and 2LZ Pkg. This past week they picked up their new ride at the Corvette Museum as they chose option code R8C.










~Tom M. Of Maryville, Tenn. called me 7 weeks ago to place his Factory order for a new 2019 Torch Red Grand Sport Cpe with Kalahari interior. Option R8C Corvette Museum delivery was first and foremost on his list of options and this week was their Museum pick up time.
Tom chose for his GS the 2LT Pkg, Red calipers, Auto trans, Chrome Wheels and Nav/PDR. It looked like Tom and his wife had a blast as the Museum folks really roll out the red carpet for my Customers.








~Joe M. Of Bonita Springs, Florida called me up 7 weeks ago to place his Factory order for a 2019 Arctic White Stingray Cpe with Adrenaline Red interior. This is a classic Corvette look! Equipment list includes: Red calipers, Auto trans, Performance exhaust, chrome wheels, Navigation/PDR and 2LT Pkg. Plycar Trucking picked it up Thursday and was delivered to Joe’s Florida driveway on Friday. In Joe's own words-"The car has arrived! That was quick! Looks great."







Safe at home in Florida.

~Ron and Lisa R. Of Burtonsville, MD were referred in to me by a corvette customer. Ron felt the need for more HP and he promises to put more miles on his Z06 then he did on his 708 mile 2015 Corvette that he traded in. Ron picked out a new 2017 Z06 in Black/Black with Auto trans, 1LZ Pkg, J57 Ceramic brake rotors and Navigation/PDR.
Ron will enjoy the whole Performance Pkg of his new Z06 and he plans on joining me at Ron Fellows Spring Mountain Race Track October 2019. Two super nice folks!






~Some more Malcolm Konner Chevrolet throwback pics...

~The Frank Class Corvette barn find and throwback section...post up which one is your favorite.

Have a great week...and if you know of someone looking to buy a new or used Corvette...please send them my way. I'm now in my 41st year selling Corvettes.

Good morning Mike.

It looks like you had a nice week of Corvette sales. Some very nice looking Vettes. Congratulations to the new owners.

I admit I look back at my Vette every day. Sometimes it is a parking lot and sometimes it is in the garage. I admire the looks of the classic American sports car and am glad I have the opportunity to own and drive one.

Have a great week.

I will go with this one this week.

I agree Mike, the Chevrolet Corvette is a real piece of Art, no matter which year or body style.
Great pictures and always look forward to the Malcolm Konner throw backs.

Great back story on this picture you chose...the little baby grew up and after the Father passed away was able to locate his old Corvette.
Bought it and restored it so now it's part of his family!

Great Thread as always Mike. My dream is to have a Corvette Museum Delivery myself one day... it has to be the ultimate presentation of taking delivery of your dream car.

And yes, i always stare at my car and look back how could you not? i have as many pics and more videos of my Corvettes than i do of my own children lol..

that new shadow gray is fantastic. they keep knocking it out of the park with these new colors.

each throwback pic was better than the next, it would be near impossible to pic the favorite this week but that white 63 from the rear caught my eye as i don't ever recall seeing a white 63 coupe before.. always something new, have a great football Sunday, thanks.

I can only imagine how nerve racking it must be to watch these guys pouring over my Corvette looking for correctness!
