Criswell Chevrolet’s Mike Furman delivers new Corvettes to his customers who come from all across the country to work with the nation’s top individual Corvette seller.
Mike was out at Spring Mountain and the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School with three classes of his customers for all of last week, and we have some great photos to share from his trip. After returning to Maryland, the Corvette seller was back at work the next day making these Corvette Dreams come true. Make sure you check out the new deliveries and how his customers ordered their cars. We also have a nice collection of throwback and vintage pics for your entertainment. Let us know your favorites this week in the comments below!
You can see all of Mike’s posts and pictures through the week on his CorvetteFurman Facebook Page.
~ Check out the posts from Mike while he was out at Spring Mountain:
~This past week I had the pleasure of hosting Wes Wong out at Spring Mountain Racetrack in Pahrump, Nevada. He spoke twice at my dinner parties. Monday night to approx 40 of my customers and guests and Tuesday evening to a packed house of 90+ of my Corvette customers/guests and some club members. Both nights his 9/11 speech was met with pure silence throughout the room out of pure respect as Wes gave the accounts of his day as the Head of The New York office for the FBI on 9/11/2001. We have known each other for several decades and I am so glad to call Wes Wong my friend. Here is the note he sent me with the picture.
“I would like to thank everyone that joined Mike Furman and I at Spring Mountain earlier this week. I so enjoyed meeting everyone. For those that attended the 9/11 Presentation, here is the shadowbox with the badge and credentials I recovered that morning. Stay safe!”
Respectfully, Wes Wong
~Just off the plane from Nevada last night and the deliveries start this morning. 6:45am Saturday.
~I have a Corvette customer/friend, Steve D. From Boston, Massachusetts and back in August 2021 he came down to Carlisle, PA to meet me and gift me something that he couldn’t mail. Steve handled the demolition of the Boston Garden and he knew back in 2012 that I lost a big part of my Corvette/and Sports memorabilia during Hurricane Sandy. So Steve gifted me a couple of bricks cemented together from the Boston Garden along with a 1981 ticket stub that he found buried in the rubble of the Garden. Steve is a HUGE Dale Earnhardt Sr fan so I had Ron Fellows call him two years ago to surprise him and today I had Ron speak about his time spent with Dale Earnhardt SR.

~Mike C. of Parrish, Florida bought his 2017 Z06 from me and now he has his new Torch Red 2024 Corvette Z06 Convertible with red/black interior which is stunning by the way! I had it drop shipped for a courtesy delivery to his local Chevrolet dealer in Plant City, Florida. Equipment: 3LZ, bright red calipers, satin graphite spider wheels and much more.
~Marcie and Kirby M. of Manakin Sabot, Virginia have bought a few Corvettes from me over the past dozen years and today they (Marcie’s) took home a Red Mist metallic 2024 Corvette Convertible with Natural interior. Tomorrow they celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary. Equipment: 2LT, GT2 buckets, front lift, edge red calipers, performance exhaust, bright machined faced wheels and low rear spoiler. These two are 2 of the finest in the land!
*Just received this very kind email from Kirby:
Dear Mike, “Thank you and the entire Criswell Chevrolet Team for your superior and kind service during the sale and delivery of Marcie’s new Corvette!
The entire sales process was smooth and easy. You were highly responsive throughout. You referred us to Dina Bartolomeo, Criswell Performance Service Advisor, for the dealer installed options we wanted. She was also most responsive, and took care of our requests without a hitch. Upon delivery, we met Michael Cohen, Finance Director, and Wyman Chow, Finance Manager. While we did not need financing, they both were extremely helpful in customizing the supplemental warranty we desired at a very reasonable cost.
Of course there were other Criswell Team members we did not meet, who prepared the car beautifully for delivery. When we first set our eyes on it, her Red Mist Corvette was gleaming in the sunlight, and show ready!
But the highlight of the delivery, during your orientation for Marcie, regarding her new Corvette operating features, was when you asked her to put her foot on the brake, and press the “Start” button. That LT2 6.2 L V8, with its 495 horsepower, roared to life, and put one beautiful smile on her face! Well done Mike!
All in all, hats off to the entire Criswell Team. You are well known Mike for your very high service standards, product knowledge, and customer satisfaction. As we all know, no man is an island, and the support you receive from the entire Criswell Team certainly contributes to the satisfaction of your customers, who become repeat customers, some multiple times. In our case this is our third Corvette purchased from you and the Criswell team.”
Kind regards,
Kirby

Equipment: 2LT, GT2 buckets, front lift, edge red calipers, performance exhaust, gloss black wheels, low rear spoiler and more.
