Delivery Post Stingrays/Z06s Aug 27th along w/Carlisle Corvette pics*Mike@Criswell
~Fun, that is what Corvette ownership should be. From moment one of searching for the right vehicle.... to taking a Sunday cruise or joining a Corvette Club. Enjoy the people that come in to your life when being a Corvette enthusiast. I've watched over the years different groups get together and do a wide array of Corvette related events and the one constant is that they are always smiling and enjoying each others company. This week of delivery's was cut short as I attended the Corvettes at Carlisle event in Carlisle, PA as I have done every year since 1978. 100 acres of nothing but Corvettes (5,000 of them), Corvette parts, literature, memorabilia and Food. Lance Miller and his Team out do themselves year after year. I was there three days and it felt like it lasted three minutes. I posted some video's and pictures on my CorvetteFurman Facebook page and will also post them here.
~Ben from Herndon, VA took delivery of his Callaway 757HP Z06 from the Callaway Tent on the Midway yesterday. Chris Chessnoe, Mike Zoner and I presented the keys of a One of One edition, 2016 Z06 in Admiral Blue with Twilight Blue interior and it is Seriously Fast. This is the 2nd Callaway Corvette ben has purchased from me. Lance Miller even stopped by to wish Ben well.
~David R from Amherst, NY called me up a few weeks ago and picked out a 2016 Laguna Blue Stingray. I gave him a sight unseen appraisal for his C6 and we did the whole deal by Fed Ex. Plycon Trucking brought his Corvette down to Criswell and also brought his new Corvette to his driveway.
~Dan J of Warner Robbins, Georgia called me last week and picked out a used 2015 Laguna Blue Z06 and after we Fed Ex'd the paperwork then Plycon trucking brought it down to GA. One of the several getting shipped out this past week.
~Darrel N of Spokane, WA called me 8 weeks ago and said he would be visiting the East Coast for the very first time the 3rd week of August. He inquired if I would have a Watkins Glen Gray 2LT Grand Sport Cpe in stock. I asked him for his specifics and I ordered the exact Corvette GS he was seeking so it would be in our inventory upon his arrival. This past Wednesday he drove home 3,000 miles in the very Corvette I ordered for him to see! Darrel's first Corvette/
~Thomas P from Ellicott City, MD called me last week looking to trade in his 2015 Corvette for a 2016 Corvette...he chose Torch red this time as I had exactly what he was seeking in stock.
~Jeremy W of Cache, OK and I first met at the Corvette Bash a couple years ago. I was honored when he called me this Summer to order his brand new Admiral Blue 2017 Grand Sport. Jeremy does some great Corvette reporting and stories and knows everyone so he could have placed his order any where as he is taking Corvette Museum delivery. Last Wednesday he watched his beauty get built along with John E from Dallas, OR. Then Jeremy flew in to attend the Carlisle Corvette event with another Corvette customer of mine, Kirby M from Richmond, VA so we had dinner and cleaned Kirby's Z06 and mine.

~Michael and Lisa C from Boca raton, FL had ordered from me a fully loaded Z06 Convt to be specially prepared by Callaway but I had never seen their Corvette because they took Museum Delivery in KY. They drove it to Carlisle for the event and what a special Car it is!!
~Once I got to Carlisle I had little time to walk the 14 miles of paths that intertwine all the vendors and Corvettes as I was displaying my Z06 at the Spring Mountain Race Track tent. But here are some pics from the past three days.

What did you do to Ben from Herndon. He's the only one not smiling. Not even a grin on his face as he is getting a Callaway.
Thnx for posting these great cars from Carlisle. Now it's time to unwind. Take the rest of the day off Mike and have a brew.
