Default Dozens upon dozens...

Stopped by to see Mike Furman yesterday and was absolutely amazed at the number of C7s available. Just about every color

Of course, aside from the C7 selection, they had a Callaway Convertible GS in the showroom and Callaway Suburban Pick your poison

I was in our 2010 Callaway SC606 Corvette Grand Sport - which now has 187,000 miles, and going, and going

Anyways, thought these pics might be enjoyed

Default Busy times at Criswell

Thanks Chris for the pics. Mike Furman keeps the lot attendants busy with all of his ordered C7's incoming/outgoing.

Noticed that the 2013 CRM ZR1 is on the elevated outside show area there. If only the lottery would have been good to me!

Your Callaway, with 187K miles, is looking like new. Amazing!!!

Mike,

Suggest to Mr. Criswell that he establish a spin-off down here in Florida. Perfect location for the deep south. I'm ready to work in Candy land just like you. But have him T/A it as "Griswold Chevrolet" down here. Has a nice 'Chevy' ring to it.

Just a joke but run it by him anyway. Let us know what he says.

all these people whining, they can't get one. They just aren't looking very hard or
using that as an excuse. Just look at the pics people, loads of them right there for
the picking. gm is spittin those babies out now.


It would be nice if a auto metroplex in the middle of the US. Not is some congested area.
All manufacturers. Just at the hubs of major interstates. Online setup. Than you just
go and do the paperwork work drive out. No salesmen, just qualified representatives on
the cars. No sales approach. Like Wal mart, less desirable pkg or colors could put in a
certain (bargain corral) for the ones with money issues. Price marked, no dealings. If
have trade, stop first a something like car max, get your money then proceed to dealer
of choice.

If Mr Criswell had a Naples, FL location...I would be the first to sign up for that!! But in the meantime...Gaithersburg, MD is the location and my commute is 6 miles....but I ship Nationwide!.

That's why I went to Mike for my vette. 39-days from order accepted to being built. Mike and Criswell seem to get things done while other dealers are still scratching their heads.

I'm not sure if this is a good thing for the Corvette brand overall. I remember in 1998 when my Dad bought his pace car you couldn't find a C5 on a dealer lot. I managed to see a 1997 a few months prior because I was friends with a Corvette tech and he let me know there was one in his bay that just got there.

Before my dad bought the 98 he never sat in a C5 or saw a convertible in person. They were that hard to find.

My local dealer has a C7 @ sticker price and they have called me a couple times about allocations. The big guys are offering $2k off already. It seems like they aren't selling that well for a newly released car.

The Mike Furman/Criswell Chevrolet photo referred to above are sold C7's waiting for customers to come in and pick up their Corvettes.

Criswell lines them up this way for planned delivery days...... and it makes for a nice photo shoot as well.

He'll say no thanks I already have a jet dealership down there so I can write my own personal one off.

Wow! Five in one day is impressive for sure. Good for you Mike. It must be a pleasure to represent such a great product. GM hit a grand slam with the C7.
