~Lemans this weekend. Back in 2011 and 2012 GM had a National Corvette sales contest and the prize was a trip to this great race in France.
I was fortunate enough to attend as a guest of GM and the experience was incredible. Put this race on your bucket list.

~Shmuel R. of Los Angeles, California flew in last night with his girlfriend Haley. He gifted his Father his 2006 Corvette and factory ordered this stunning Rapid Blue 2021 Corvette Z51 Convt with the Tension Blue/Twilight Blue interior.
I went over the Corvette from Convertible “top to bottom”. They have their cross country trip all mapped out and plan to do some sightseeing as they drive their new Chevrolet across the USA. A mere 3,000 miles in a week's time. Give them the Corvette wave if you spot them on the highway!
~Robert and Pam A. of Keller, Texas factory ordered their Red Mist 2021 Corvette coupe with Natural interior.
I had it drop-shipped for courtesy delivery to their local Chevrolet dealer in Grapevine, Texas. Here is an email from the lucky couple...”Pam and I have been very busy showing off “Lucy “and driving her! What an amazing vehicle! “Lucy” fits right into my life motto: Growing Old Is Mandatory, Growing Up Is Optional!! At 73, Lucy makes me feel young again!
Thank you very much!!!!
Robert and Pam A. Keller, Texas
~Tommy J. of Dade City, Florida factory ordered his Torch Red 2021 Corvette Z51 coupe and I had it drop-shipped for courtesy delivery at his local Chevrolet dealer in Plant City, FL. The Natural interior looks great with Torch Red paint!
Email from Tommy...”Hi Mike,
I picked up the car from the courtesy dealer in Plant City, FL; great to work with. Man, this thing is awesome! I have owned 5th, 6th, and 7th generation Corvettes. I didn't think Corvette could get much better than the C7, which I love, but this is leaps better. My 6 year old son, Robby, is a car nut and yells out "Corvette" every time he sees one one the road. He accompanied my wife and me to the dealership and he was even more excited when he saw our car for the first time than I was. Thanks for your assistance!”
Tommy J. Of Dade City, Fl
~Steve G. of Frisco, Texas factory ordered his Torch Red 2021 Corvette Convt and I had it drop shipped at his Chevrolet dealer near him in Richardson, TX for courtesy delivery. Everything transpired smoothly and Steve gave his new C8 the big thumbs up!

Check out their stunning Elkhart Lake Blue 2021 Corvette Z51 convertible with the two-tone Sky cool gray and Black interior!!! Give them a big Corvette wave!
~N.H. of Cockeysville, Maryland factory ordered his very first Corvette and today was delivery day. The rain in the forecast wasn't going to deter him from adding his Silver Flare/Red interior 2021 Corvette Convertible to his stable which will sit right next to his 1968 Shelby GT 500!
~Robert M. of Scottsdale, Arizona placed his Corvette factory order with me and I had it drop-shipped for courtesy delivery at his local Chevrolet dealer in Phoenix, Arizona. Check out Robert’s new Silver Flare 2021 Corvette Z51 Convertible with Adrenaline red interior. The Carbon Flash full-length stripes really pop!!

Congratulations to the new C8 owners! Thanks for the news about the upcoming 2023 Z06. It will be here before we realize it. That's going to be one heck of a car - both from a performance AND styling perspective.
Throwback photos are great this week, as per usual. My favorite one is the shot with the C2 being filled with "detergent gasoline" and it probably drank quite a bit of high-test back in the day.
Remember how most cars back in the '60s & '70s used to have the fuel door in the center? No worries about being on the correct side of the gas pump! I had a Cadillac Sedan deVille and an Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight like that. The fuel receptacle was underneath the license plate by the back bumper.
I doubt any new cars or trucks are made that way anymore - probably for safety & emissions reasons.
Great pictures and praying for a dry day at Carlisle next week. Always alot of smiles at Criswell Chevrolet. Have you ever had anybody not happy at delivery?
Wally and Eddie with their new friends from College.
As a kid I remember walking through the MK back lot full of C3's until eventually as a late teen looking for my first C3.
I remember the 1986 MK CE edition Corvettes. Back in 1986 I test drove a new Dark Red Corvette convertible.
Great photos this week of happy new C8 owners. Very happy for them. Excited to leave for Carlisle in a few days . I used to love to search the swap meet for hard to find parts for my '68. If you haven't been put it on your bucket list. My favorite throwback this week is a beautiful C2.
I think this is a picture from an old Corvette News magazine from the seventies and that she was the President of a Corvette club at the time if I remember correctly.

I wish we could roll the clock back to 70-72? Can you imagine the color combos and engine options I could build?
No doubt! It'd be awesome to have a time machine so that you could 'travel back' and purchase a brand new Buick GSX, big-block Corvette, Hemi 'Cuda, Plymouth GTX or an LS6 Chevelle SS454 - just the way it you wanted - and then bring it back to 2021 with you. Talk about a return on investment. Wow!
Yeah, one can dream, eh? It was amazing how someone could so easily 'custom order' a new car back then with so many trim levels, options, colors and special features. Cars could be picked out in an "a la carte" manner not so common nowadays. You didn't have to get leather seats if you wanted whitewall tires or get an FM radio in order to get cruise control, etc.
