Unlocking the Secrets Behind Corvette Deliveries with Mike Furman, America’s Top Seller
In the vibrant world of American sports cars, few names are as celebrated as that of the Corvette. Each week at Criswell Chevrolet in Gaithersburg, MD, we witness a spectacle that could only be described as the heartbeat of Corvette culture. Here, the illustrious Mike Furman, known as one of the nation’s top individual Corvette sellers, returns from a well-deserved vacation, ready to cater to the dreams of Corvette enthusiasts from coast to coast.
The Excitement of Deliveries
Mike kicks off this week’s dispatch with thrilling stories, photos, and exclusive insights from his customers. Among his recent highlights, he notes the Bowling Green Fire Department’s annual gala, where a brand-new Corvette Stingray with the emblematic VIN 911 was awarded to a deserving winner. This was no ordinary allocation; kudos to Mike for managing to snag such a coveted series of numbers! For those who might be skeptical about the value of a VIN, rest assured, every collector knows it’s more than just numbers—it’s a symbol of prestige, a badge of honor.
It’s not just about making a sale for Mike; it's about building relationships that last generations. His profound expertise proved indispensable during my own first Corvette purchase, guiding me through every step leading up to a triumphant delivery. Behind the pristine license plate on the car, you can almost see the years of dedication and passion poured into making sure each customer is left with an unforgettable experience.
A Community of Enthusiasts
With a steady flow of trucks arriving each week from Bowling Green, the dealership feels like a permanent Corvette show. Enthusiasts travel from all over the United States and even abroad, including a memorable visit from a Corvette club in Norway. These shared experiences build a community of passionate owners who share their stories, experiences, and the love for this iconic automobile. Recently, a group from Buffalo made a special visit, and from my standpoint, it’s fascinating to see how these relationships often lead to lifelong orders for Corvettes.
Spotting Rare Gems
Among the cars in Mike’s inventory is the extraordinary 2019 ZR1 Convertible. With only 2,953 units produced that year—and merely 53 in the striking Arctic White—this beauty stands as a testament to limited production and craftsmanship that enthusiasts covet. Priced at $176,000, this ZR1 boasts a wealth of options ranging from the 3ZR package to ceramic brake rotors—attributes that continue to provoke admiration from enthusiasts.
With such rare finds, Mike emphasizes the importance of connecting potential owners with their dream cars. Whether it's through a phone call or an email, he’s always open to inquiries, ensuring that each conversation is tailored and personal.
Unforgettable Deliveries
As the week unfolds, customer stories continue to pour in. One notable delivery involved a Virginia businessman who eagerly took delivery of his new 2025 Corvette ERAY convertible. The dual-tone Sky Cool Gray and Black interior combined with the Riptide Blue exterior created a visually stunning presence that captured everyone’s attention on the dealership lot. There’s an unparalleled thrill in seeing a customer's face light up upon encountering their dream car for the first time.
Another heartwarming story involves Dan W., a long-time client who had his Arctic White 2025 Corvette Z06 Convertible drop-shipped to Arizona. With a family history of buying Corvettes from Mike stretching back to the late 1980s, this moment was both nostalgic and exciting, further solidifying their lasting relationship. Each Corvette passed from Mike’s hands has etched an indelible mark on the memories of these families.
The Thrill of Ownership
Marcie and Kirby M. recently took delivery of their fourth Corvette from Mike after an incredible 47 days since purchasing their previous one. Such stories underscore the level of commitment and satisfaction generated through a seamless experience from initial inquiry to final delivery. The high-energy atmosphere during deliverables often attracts friends and family, amplifying an already memorable event even further. Marcie's latest delivery included gorgeous polished AEROLARRI wheels that made the car even more prestigious.
Every week, Mike shares vintage photos and throwback stories celebrating the rich history of Corvette ownership. This drives home why the Corvette is valued not just as a vehicle, but as a lifestyle embraced by a devoted community. Each picture tells tales of pride, sacrifice, and camaraderie among owners and enthusiasts.
