Default 7th Generation begins~Stingrays arrive at Criswell 9/21/13 pics-Mike@Criswell

The anticipation of the 7th Generation Corvette known simply as the Stingray is unlike any of my past 3 Generation changes selling Corvettes...and so it begins. They have started arriving across the country side to Chevrolet dealers and more importantly the Corvette enthusiasts that have ordered them. In no particular defined order but never the less, they are shipping out of Bowling Green. Have patience my friends, The Stingray is a World Class Sports Car and it's American made. .
I knew when they were arriving to the minute...because the truck driver called me to confirm directions!




















Locked up tight inside the back shop.


Please ask for me when you call/email in to Criswell Chevrolet. 35 yrs of experience selling Corvettes can help a lot! Just ask any one of my 3,000 Corvette customers.

Night race blue...in my opinion is made for the new Stingray. The body vents work so well with the color. The C7 has a continuity, a smooth flow, when Night Race Blue is chosen. Just my opinion. I am excited....I think the cars you received are black and Green.

The Stingray is designed and engineered so well that I don't believe there is a bad color!

Just wait until you have a green (Lime Rock) and buckskin (Kalahari) sitting outside in the sun. It'll look superb.

Sidenote: Interesting way they are now "wrapping" the cars for shipment---no more little patches of white plastic---the whole car. I presume they'll do this for the cars that get shipped by rail as well. It's got to help prevent little dings and damage.

Interesting ....... The cover is not one piece. The hood is a separate piece.

Way to Go Mike and Criswell. Best of luck this
year giving Kerbeck a run for their money.

Beth and I and the "blue steak" entered the memorial parade at Carlisle and what a blast it was. Thanks for helping for fill one of my dreams. Nothing against the C7
but there is just something about a " 427 Vert" I guess I am just old school.

Cheers and happy driving,

Bruce

That is so cool peeling off the white shipping covers to reveal a black car.

Where does Tony grip these cars to do calf raises?

Furman-Criswell Chevrolet and the American Flag. Doesn't get any better than that.

Well, maybe serve apple pie as you unwrap those C7's.

Wondered how the delivery drivers accessed the C7 for loading and unloading.

Driver had to call for directions to the third largest Corvette dealer in the country?! Must be a newbie.

Let me take a guess......that first C7 to hit the ground......black/black......is going to......OREGON, via Plycar enclosed transport.

I used to live in a community just south of Portland called Lake Oswego, Oregon.

Furman-Criswell ships Nation wide.
