Default 8/8/21~C8 deliveries all over the USA pics,See you at Carlisle.*Mike Furman@Criswell*

~Mail arrived from Lance Miller and his Team in Carlisle, PA. My Celebrity Judge windshield decal etc. ..I’ve been attending Carlisle events at the Fairgrounds since 1978 and as a Car Enthusiast there is no event that I’ve ever attended more fun then the Corvettes at Carlisle event (all Carlisle events are great by the way!) 100+ acres and over 5,000 Corvettes on display across the entire fairgrounds. If you’ve been before, then you know...if you’ve never been then make this a must attend event. I will have my Red Mist 2021 Corvette Convt on display at the Ron Fellows Spring Mountain racetrack tent (August 26-28th) on the Midway infield next to the GM tent. Stop by and say hello!
*For the first time ever I signed up for the Corvette parade Saturday evening in downtown Carlisle.

~Cool picture sent to me from The Vettes for Vets charity car show I attended last month.Big thumbs up and cheers for a great organization




~October 1st-6th I will have "3" filled classes for my Corvette Furman owners school driving experience out at Ron Fellows Spring Mountain Race Track in Pahrump, Nevada.
Since 80% of my business is out of state this is a great way to meet up with my customers from across the globe.




~Also arriving in the mail this week is an early Birthday gift from one of my Eastern Shore Corvette customers. I've lost track on how many
Corvettes that Jack S. has bought from me over the last decade. Thanks Jack!!





~Some C8 deliveries from this week...many others waiting on delivery pics.

~Wendy L. of Los Angeles, California and I first met at Spring Mountain Racetrack in Nevada 2 years ago. She was there racing her C7 and some time after that chance meet up she decided to get in line for the C8 mid engine Corvette. An accomplished driver already, Wendy will truly enjoy and appreciate her track time behind the wheel of her new Torch Red 2021 Corvette Coupe. Equipment list: 2LT pkg, GT2 buckets, front lift, CF instrument trim, edge red calipers, performance exhaust, spectra gray wheels, CF painted outside mirrors and Engine appearance pkg. I had it drop shipped for courtesy delivery at her local to her Chevrolet dealer in Burbank, CA.





~Richard W. of Fair Lawn, New Jersey bought his Black Stick shift 2019 ZR1 (only 900 miles at this time) from me and this week he took delivery of his Red Mist 2021 Corvette Z51 Convertible to share space together in his garage. This C8 will get used much more!! He wanted me to sign my Corvette poster with today’s date and Corvette delivery #, this is #5,100!
Equipment list: 3LT pkg, body color accents, chrome badge pkg, front lift, magnetic ride, and Z51 pkg. Richard had Criswell service install the exposed weave carbon fiber ground effects pkg before today’s drive home. Email from Richard after 24 hrs owning his C8...
Mike,
“Thank you very much for the pictures and video (excellent ending with the American Flag)...You are truly an outstanding professional in representing the Corvette brand from every aspect for GM...the trip home was too short (not really with traffic about 5 plus hours)...but driving that beautiful machine it was too short...again a very grateful thank you and definitely will point family and friends your way for a great Chevrolet experience”
Richard W. Fair Lawn, NJ.






~ Tim and Cindy M. of Gulf Shores, Alabama placed his factory order to enjoy the Delivery at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY...like me, Tim and Cindy are Lifetime members of the Corvette Museum! They chose Red Mist metallic tintcoat with Sky cool gray/ Black interior on their 2021 Corvette Convertible. Equipment list : GT 2 buckets, 2LT pkg, body color accents, chrome badge pkg, magnetic ride, performance exhaust, spectra gray wheels and torch red seat belts.




~Ben O. of Orlando, Florida factory ordered his new Torch Red 2021 Corvette Z51 coupe to be prepped by Criswell and Plycar handled the enclosed shipping to his Florida home. Equipment list: 1LT pkg, Z51 pkg, chrome badge pkg, yellow calipers, edge red engine cover, and more! Here is an email from Ben...
"Mike,
The car was delivered and everything is perfect.
Once again I thank you for everything you did for
me and I hope we can do business in the near
future (perhaps 2023 Z06) let see what happens."
Than you,
Ben O.





~John R. of Dallas, Texas factory ordered his new Arctic White 2021 Corvette Convt to get prepped by Criswell and Plycar to enclose ship it to his Texas home. Yesterday it started it's journey to John’s Driveway. Equipment list: 3LT pkg, CF painted Nacelles and roof, body color accents, chrome exterior badges, magnetic ride, edge red calipers, performance exhaust, red seat belts and red custom stitching. This John's very first Corvette so give him a very big Corvette wave!









~Look back in time from two pics of Malcolm Konner Chevrolet Paramus Chevrolet... as I've always said, I would not have the Corvette background if it wasn't for the Konner Family.

August 1969...



1986



~The Frank Class Corvette Barn find and throwback section. Post up your favorite pic...

Morning, Mike. Great pics.

Love the pic of the C1 in the top of the barn. "Honey, what's up in the top of our barn. Oh, don't worry about it, sweetie, just some . . . uh. . . stuff." LOL.

The car in the upper level of the barn is great. Got to wonder how it got there.

Good to see some happy new C8 owners and all the throwback pics.

Congratulations to all of the new C8 owners! That "Red Mist" looks every bit as good as the Elkhart Lake Blue - and that's a tough act to follow. Excellent to see so many happy faces among those fortunate enough to turn the key and hear that wonderful V8 sound.

Kudos to you for passing 5,100 in Corvette sales too. Number 6,000 will be upon you within a very short time. You can't even think about retiring until then, though.

My favorite throwback photo is this one. It's just a great combination of the cars, the lighting and the overall theme that makes it so wonderful. It would make for a great piece of art to hang in any garage or car museum. Imagine being able to travel back in time to the late 1960s just to be able to walk on that car lot. I wonder how many of those vehicles have survived over the past 50+ years.

Another entertaining thread. Thanks, Mike.

Just curious. Is this a 'before' or 'after' picture?
