Unveiling Commemorates the 4th Anniversary of the Corvette Museum Sinkhole

On February 12, 2014, the National Corvette Museum fell prey to a major sinkhole which opened up in the skydome section of the facility.  As the sinkhole’s floor splintered and collapsed, the sinkhole swallowed eight Corvettes – many of them priceless, one-of-a-kind examples of the famous sports car.  In the weeks that followed, Corvette enthusiasts around the globe waited anxiously to see if any of the eight Corvettes could be recovered.  Moreover, were any of the cars salvageable after falling more than 20 feet into the earth?

The answer was YES.
