I know of two different Reliable Chevrolets. One in Springfield, MO (supporting dealer - Wes Milby) and the other in Richardson, TX. While the one in Richardson is fairly close to me, I bought mine from the one in MO. I'm pretty sure the higher ranked one is the one in MO.

Not a single Cincinnati area dealer on the list. No wonder I had to go out of town to get mine. I've been told Cincinnati is not a big Corvette market. I'm kind of surprised by that.

Oh well. Great buying experience with Rick Conti, and he's only a hundred or so miles up the road.

It also states that it is for Calendar Year to Date, NOT Model Year. Therefore, it is only sales since January 1.

For the calendar year starting in January and running through June 30, 2014, GM has reported a total of 17,744 Corvettes sold. The top Corvette dealers on this list account for 41.5% of those sales which total 7,370.

He does - Jeff Gordon Chevrolet, Jimmie Johnson Chevrolet, Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet, Performance Chevrolet & Terry Labonte Chevrolet, in addition to the 11 Chevrolet dealerships that have "Hendrick" in their names.

I think he meant number one at that dealer, he did not say the first C7 sold anywhere.

This is also year to date in total Corvette sales, not just 2014. I believe that we are the only dealer in the top 10 that started the calendar year without a 2013 Corvette in stock (we sold out back in August of 2013). Many of the Top 10 dealer still have 2013s in stock.

And it should not be lost in all of these numbers that Mike Furman at Criswell Chevrolet in Maryland has sold 92% of the 277 Corvettes sold on this list at Criswell...... positioning Criswell in the #4 spot. Although I have no definitive evidence here...... I believe that this continues to entrench Furman annually as the top stand alone Corvette sales person in the USA, a Herculean task in itself.

Interesting note by Dave at Kerbeck that these sales numbers are for all Corvette sales to date in 2014...... and many dealers had carry over C6's as well to sell during that time period. Most of us assumed that these numbers were related solely to C7 sales.

You are correct .... In fact my car came in on a Wednesday...but I could not take delivery until Saturday.....after Mr Hendrick's was delivered on Friday...the day before...so technically his was first....mine was the first retail delivery!

I'm fairly sure he runs Performance Chevrolet in Chapel Hill. I bought my 2005 from them.
