In the early morning hours of February 12, 2014, a Sink hole devowered part of the Museum, taking down 8 of these beautiful cars, only 3 were able to be restored..

This is pretty neat u can’t see very well by the picture but when u look into the hole it shows how far down the cars fell it was about 30 feet , it’s kinda scary looking in it!!

Hey I’ve been there :)

WHOA!! That photo collage was impressive, I loved how you set that up for us!!! Nice #walkwithme!!! I'm going to show this one to my eldest son @eddiebowes, he'll be thrilled to see those corvettes.

Thank you so much! It’s even cooler in person! The whole place is actually cause the picture do no justice for that sink hole😳 it’s crazy!! Hope ur son likes it too!

Ilove some gas picturw,can i have that one??

As in u want to use the picture? Sure?

That's crazy they had a sinkhole open up in the museum! Maybe the engineer should have looked at the ground first. That's kinda cool they still have the crushed cars on display. They're not in their former glory, but still get to remind people how they looked before.
Did they have sales agents at the exit asking you if you would like to purchase a Corvette as you leave? :)

Lol , not at the Museum, but I’m sure if I’d asked, they woulda hooked me up with someone that woulda been more than happy to help ! It really is a neat place!
