Default Delivery Post 4/30/17 NCM Bash pics news/Throwback Heavy pics Mike Furman at Criswell

~First of all I had a great time this past week at the NCM Bash. I don't attend because I sell Corvettes but I attend because I am a long time Corvette enthusiast. The Corvette friends that I have made over the past 5 Decades are second to none. The most asked question to me is "What's my next Corvette going to be?" Currently I am enjoying a 1967 Corvette Sting Ray Cpe (#18 for those of you that are counting). I would like to have a daily driver Corvette by Spring of 2018 but time will tell. Heard some good news from Michelin that by December of this year they will be selling an all season run flat tire for the C7 Grand Sport and Z06. To watch video's and see 200+ pics from the National Corvette Museum Bash please check out my Facebook page CorvetteFurman

~Below is one pic of me from each decade selling Corvettes...

Delivered this 1969 Corvette in 1979 and stopped by his Gas Station on a Sunday to see how he was enjoying it. I'm on the right.



In my office at Konner Auto...1985



Appraising this 1958 Corvette in 1992...



Checking in my 2006 Lemans Blue Z06...(I'm in Black coat)



Hanging with Corvette customers/friends at the Criswell Corvette show...2016.



~New color announced as seen on the 65th Anniv. edition. This is a free flow color so it can be ordered across the board on all Corvettes for 2018 without Carbon 65 pkg.





~Rich G. Of Punta Gorda, Florida called me 8 weeks ago to factory order his 6th Corvette! Rich chose Black Rose Metallic for his 2017 Corvette Grand Sport Convt with Kalahari interior and top along with 3LT Pkg, Carbon Fiber instrument panel, 8 speed Auto trans and much more. 80% of the time Rich will have the top down!















~Other vehicles that left the yard earlier this week...first two went to fellow golf club members...









~NCM Bash pics...

Corvette Plant Mgr Kai Spande and I met up a few times for some good info talks. I appreciate every moment getting his insight on all things Corvette.



Former Corvette Plant Mgr Dave Tatman heard I was on site and came looking for me. Always enjoy his friendship.

















Fast Carl and I.











Harvey Gluck speaking with Harlan Charles













Jeremy W. with Kai Spande.















Chris Chessnoe, myself and Sid.






























The King and Queen of Adam's Polishes...Richard and Betsy.



Betty Hardison of the Museum and I.



John E. from Dallas, Oregon and I...a wonderful friend to all.



~Throwback and barn find Corvette pics...





































































Have a great week everyone!!!

Great pictures and stories! I really liked the pictures of you when you were first starting out. Thanks for all the pictures from the bash. I bought my first C7 from Sid in 2013. I will finally be able to go to the bash next year as I will be retired. It will be nice putting a face with the names of all the good people on the forum. See you there.
