The reveal must have been something to experience. Love the new car and hope it is a rousing success. Great write up as usual, I picked this one for my favorite because I like C3s. We have all experienced that grin haven't we?
After the reveal, you're phone and e-mail had to blow up with customers who were on the fence now wanting the car? I can't wait for Carlisle to see all of the colors especially the Bronze, Yellow, and Rapid Blue!!!

My opinion is the 2020 Corvette mid-engine is groundbreaking in every way especially at the price point announced. I have owned 19 Corvettes dating back to my first one, 1959 and my current is a 2019...my next (#20)will be a 2020 Spring of 2020...that's how much I like it.

...I'd say so, Ed...Wednesday I wrote 37 deals, Thursday 22 and Saturday 24...and that doesn't count my deliveries at all the different buildings!
Fun reveal (understatement). Great to see you there. It was a very special time. Wonderful pictures you took there.
Congratulations Mike on just starting your 43rd year of selling Corvettes! As noted above, going to be a wonderful year for you, and your customers, with your selling over 500 C8’s.
Love the backstories of your new deliveries. My favorites this week:
Let me start by saying and we all know this but Mile Furman is a FIRST class salesman but FIRST class person as he has been a great friend over the years and going to Spring Mountain last week was unbelievable ( the whole setup is 200% great out there) but Mike being there made it great as he made me and my girlfriend feel so comfortable out there plus took us around the whole resort and showed us around when we got there and was on the track with us, all the classes and so on. We all should be so lucky to have Mike as our Corvette guy and a friend. That said, you must make it to Spring Mountain and if Mike is attending the few weeks he does it a must to get on that list as you won’t be disappointed as thought Mike owned Spring Mountain... ha ha. Thanks again Mike and going next year again as soon as you lock your 2020 dates😊
Always love your posts Mike, but this one was real special! Loved all of the photos of the Reveal Venue WHEN NO ONE WAS THERE, BUT YOU! A tribute to your incredible relationship with GM/Chevrolet! So glad my Bride and I got to spend a bit of time with you while there! That is John in the Zeus Bronze C8, and it looks like in the passenger seat is Tritsan Murphy; Interior Lead Designer of Corvette. Scrolling on though and a shocker, you also included pics of my Bride and I in the Zeus Bronze C8, and then a great shout out to Jeremy and Kenny! And then on to Spring Mountain; what a week for you! Hope to join you at Spring Mountain one day-maybe when they get their C8 fleet! Congrats to the new owners who had deliveries this week! Teresa and Brian picked out a great combo with Race Yellow and the Red White and Blue Stripe! I would not have thought of this combo, but it works! also congrats to Tom and Edie for going with Torch Red! May all the new owners drive their Vettes in good health.
My favorite pic, this tribute to the '63 Grand Sport on the awesome Custom Hauler! Love the 1965 Impala Taillights, I recognize them, my family had a 1965 Impala-it was almost as big a deal at the time as the C8 Corvette is now!
Have a great week Mike!!!!

You're having the time of your life, my friend! Thank you for the great pics today, but most of all, thank you for your friendship! This pic is one of two favorites that you posted today. The other is of the three of us with Kirby and Marcie. The Corvette is what brings us together, but the amazing relationships we have all been blessed to be a part of as a result are what truly matter. I have no way to adequately express my appreciation for the gift you gave of the owner pass to the Thursday night reveal. The experience that we all shared together that night will be fondly remembered for the rest of my life. Thank you!!!

Dynamite pictures of the reveal. Sure looked like fun.The interior shots were excellent. One question if you know the answer, did the driver of the yellow C3 that was on fire make it out ok ?
