~Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service of the United States of America. My Father was Navy WW II, he didn't die during his time in the Navy but I always think of how fortunate we are for all the Men/Women that serve in the country's armed forces. I always state not to forget the Corvette Wave...well more importantly, thank these brave folks who serve our Country.

~John A. Of Vienna, Virginia factory ordered his very first Corvette from me 6 weeks ago with one phone call. John ordered a 2017 Corvette Grand Sport Cpe in Arctic White with two tone red interior, 7spd manual transmission, carbon flash badge Pkg, black wheels, cf black mirrors and 2LT Pkg. Great color combo!!!













~James and Connie S. of Carmel, Indiana called me 7 weeks ago to factory order a 2017 Corvette Stingray Convt. For not only Corvette Museum delivery but also the Build tour and follow their New Corvette thru the production process. They ordered Black paint Black interior and Black top with 2LT Pkg, 7spd manual trans, Performance exhaust, chrome wheels, Stingray logo center caps, Navigation/PDR, crossed flags hood liner,Stingray door sill plates and much more. They will be back at the Museum first week of June to drive their new Stingray Convt home to Indiana.







~Other Chevrolet deliveries that left the launch pad this week...I even sold 2 Bolt's to a Father and son that reside in Tucson, Arizona. They were referred to me from a trucking company out there.



















~John from Jacksonville, Florida knew he was going to be visiting Maryland so he made an appt. with me to test drive a new Z06 because the dealers down where he lived wouldn't allow him behind the wheel.
John will be ordering a 2018 Z06.



~Mr 3,000 (Richard) sent me a picture of his fully restored 1974 Jaguar in Green/Tan which is why he chose Limerock Green/Kalahari for his 2014 Corvette order which became my 3,000th Corvette delivery back in Winter 13/14...

Great pictures, Mike. Thanks for sharing. Boy, there sure has been a diverse group of Indy pace car drivers over the years. Some good, some not so good depending on one's point of view. All good when it comes to these great cars I guess. Have a good one on this special weekend.

Mike Furman@Criswell

~You are correct about the diverse group of Indy Pace Car drivers. I was fortunate enough to drive the Camaro Pace Car for the Sebring Race a few years back. What a blast that was. I have been to the 24hrs of Lemans for Chevrolet, Hung with Zora Duntov and Larry Shinoda at the Konner Corvette shows, been on a Reality show selling a Corvette...but driving the Camaro Pace Car at Sebring was pretty darn cool

It's awesome that you drove a Sebring race pace car! Pretty cool!

My wife and my older kids were excited when I told them who was driving the Indy 500 pace car this weekend because they are big Walking Dead fans.

Mike Furman@Criswell

Thanks Jeremy. Certainly was a ton of fun driving the Pace Car at Sebring.

Great pictures and stories Mike. I Liked the pictures of the different Corvette pace cars and my favorites the 63 Corvette. Too bad the Chevy didn't win the race yesterday

My favorite pictures are the Gold Corvettes. You know how I love a Gold Corvette and wish they would sell that color again.

Mike Furman@Criswell

I agree, that gold color looks good on a Corvette. Code 53 in 1985 Gold metallic!!
