Default *Dec 5th~I plan on attending "LA Auto Show"/Come one come all~Mike Furman of Criswell

~You could say you are a Corvette Enthusiast when...you plan to make a BONZAI run at the LA Auto Show December 5th...This will be some 24 hour stretch. Leave my house in Maryland Tuesday the 5th no later then 4am EST . I land in LA Tuesday early morning on Dec 5th and will be at the LA Auto Show all day and then my flight back to Maryland departs after 9pm PT and will land just before 6am EST on Wednesday the 6th and will be back to Criswell Chevrolet by 9am...missing one day at work "meh"... viewing Chevrolet's finest display of Corvettes and seeing my fellow West Coast Corvette Enthusiasts ...
-Priceless.

~So if you are in the LA area on the 5th of December...look me up as I am sure to be in the Chevrolet Zone of the Auto Show. I have been attending these Factory Backed Auto Shows all over the Country since I started selling Corvettes in 1978...but this my friends is the most excited I have ever been so stay tuned for my full report, pictures and video's.

*I will post pictures and video's on my Corvette Furman Facebook page.

Yes, the ZR1 will be there (at least one)...

Mike, that's a great idea!

Jeremy...I was at 25% chance of going before you said you John and Stan were planning on attending...and that certainly pushed me over the edge to do a 24hour there and back trip of 6,000 miles. So it wasn't my idea that's for sure.

It will be fun to see the ZR1(s), and maybe, just maybe, on a SR/GS/Z06 or whatever one of both of the new colors, e.g. Dark Shadow Metallic and Rhythm-n-Blue Metallic.

But coming to see friends will be even more special!

Darn, I wish I would have known about this sooner. I could have stopped at the show on my way back from Sydney.

It's called "trip interruption"

The coolest part about you going on this trip is that the main reason you're going is to hang out with both old and new Corvette friends! The ZR1 is just a great Corvette reason for us to all get together...but the lifelong memories are the fun times we all get to share as friends along the way!

The Chevrolet exhibit, along with most brands, is located in the south hall.
