Default 10 Couples and their Corvettes drive from Buffalo to Wash DC/visit to Criswell pics

I received a call from Frank P of the Corvette Club of Buffalo a few weeks ago. He said his Corvette Club would be visiting the Wash, DC area to tour and would like to visit Criswell Chevrolet. I always like hosting Corvette Clubs, especially if they drove 375+ miles. 10 Couples and their Corvettes showed up at 6pm last night. Denise P brought her award winning 2011 Inferno Orange Convt GS and Roland brought his 2013 Night Race Blue 427 Convt. Roland is the President of the Gaithersburg Corvette Club which Criswell sponsors. I had put together 10 Red Goodie bags and gave them a tour of the dealership and Corvette inventory. They also used my employee number in the gift shop to buy Corvette shirts/hats. A great time was had by all. This July 26th will mark 35 yrs I have been selling Corvette's and nights like last night make it all worthwhile! Enjoy the pictures.












Roland's 13 427 Convt~~








Gaithersburg Corvette Club has their own Trophy case on the showroom floor. It is loaded with Club event trophies earned by GBB.












~Secret C7 order.....pssss don't tell anyone~







~Denise's stunning 2011 GS Convt in Inferno Orange Metallic~ Thank you for bringing it by last night~

Sorry I had to bug outta there so fast, but storms were rolling in and I had just had a paint treatment applied the day before. Wasn't supposed to get wet for at least 24 hours as it cures. Made it home just in the nick of time!

My take here......

Beautiful Chevrolet dealership at Criswell.

Great bunch of Corvette owners hanging out at Criswell.

Appears Mike can sign deals with both hands while standing up......all at the same time.

Criswell even treats the out of towners right , who already own their Corvettes.

Beautiful Corvettes from Buffalo, and that black 427 vert is something out of Darth Vadar/Bat Man. Really liked the trick "427" on the windscreen. Lets everyone know from the rear what it really is, just in case they missed the factory numbers on the hood.

Would be really interested in the paint treatment on one of the Buffalo Corvettes that can't get wet within 24 hours of application.
