Busy Saturday at Criswell with 5 Stingray deliveries and Gburg club event/pics-story
I arrived at Criswell yesterday at 7:30am as I had 6 deliveries spaced out every 90 minutes starting at 9am. I knew all my paperwork was done for each folder but I wanted to make sure each Stingray was cleaned and ready to go. As I walked up I see the President of the Gburg Corvette Club arriving as he and his Club Members had a Corvette Road Rallye set to leave in the 10am range.
~First up at 9am was Tim from Bethesda, MD trading in his cherished 2002 Convt for a new Stingray cpe in Laguna Blue with Red interior that he factory ordered. This car pops! The Good Dr was happy!
~At 10:30am the President of the Richmond Corvette Club(over 300 members) Kirby and Marcie traded in their Yellow/tan top/cashmere interior 2013 GS Convt with 2900 miles for an in stock Stingray Convt... Crystal Red with Kalahari top and 3LT interior...exactly what Marcie was seeking as Kirby has a Red/Red C7 cpe in the stable already. A nicer couple couldn't be found and they had a blast. I wish they could have stayed longer. Richmond, VA isn't that far so I may have to venture South for a Corvette show down there.
Purse to match...
~ next came Len and his wife from Alexandria, VA. He factory ordered this Night Race Blue and Kalahari Z51 Convt. It will look great next to his 67 Corvette 327/300Hp in his garage. Len couldn't wait to hit the road and see what his Z51 Convt could do. He loved the color combo.
~At 1:30 it was Gary's turn. Gary ordered every option and then some. Night Race Blue Z51 Convt with Black top and Gray interior with the Competition seats and Carbon Flash Black full length stripes. Gary is a Captain in the Military and he sold his C6 to get this C7.
~ My 3pm appt had to move his appt to this coming week...and my 4:30 appt came 30 minutes early...Joe from Port Tobacco, MD ordered a Stingray Z51 cpe in Limerock Green with Black wheels and Black Competition Seats. This Corvette is super sharp. Joe got the exact look he wanted in his factory order.
At the end of the day, all the customers had a perma-grin as they rode off into the sunset.

Gary certainly is in to all sorts of variations of the color blue!!!
Really like the gloss black wheels, even on the dark NRB color.
A real cornucopia of colors and options there. These threads of yours Mike allow your future customers to see the options and color combinations...... almost like being there. Much better than merely skimming through a new car brochure in the showroom. Some great option ideas are to be had here today.

Cool pic of the flag "flowing" out of Gary's HUD in that dash shot.
Question, though...... is it merely a reflection, or is there an imprinted name on the gloss black wheel rim on Gary's new NRB C7 Vert???
