Sinkhole Collapses at National Corvette Museum
Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to Facebook
We received a call at 5:44am from our security company alerting us of our motion detectors going off in our Skydome area of the Museum. Upon arrival it was discovered that a sinkhole had collapsed within the Museum. No one was in or around the Museum at the time. The Bowling Green Fire Department arrived on the scene and secured the area. The Fire Department has estimated the size of the hole is 40 feet across and 25-30 feet deep.
It is with heavy hearts that we report that eight Corvettes were affected by this incident. Those cars include:
- 1993 ZR-1 Spyder on loan from General Motors
- 2009 ZR1 “Blue Devil” on loan from General Motors
The other six vehicles were owned by the National Corvette Museum including:
- 1962 Black Corvette
- 1984 PPG Pace Car
- 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette
- 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette
- 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette
- 2009 White 1.5 Millionth Corvette
None of the cars affected were on loan from individuals. The Skydome exhibit area of the Museum is a separate structure connected to the main Museum. A structural engineer is now on-site to assess the existing damage and stability of the surrounding areas. The Museum is closed to the public for the day to allow us to carefully assess the situation. We will keep everyone informed as we know more.
With the 20th Anniversary celebration, Grand Opening of the NCM Motorsports Park, and the National Corvette Caravan coming August 27-30, we’ve got a lot to be excited about in 2014, and look forward to getting the Skydome repaired and reopened very soon.
The National Corvette Museum is the ‘Gateway to All Things Corvette’ and a member-driven, 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation. Weekly news on the latest Corvette developments, racing updates, event features and raffles are available by subscribing to “NCM eNews” at:corvettemuseum.org/ncmenews. Dedicated to the mission of celebration, education and preservation, the Museum is open seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT - located at Exit 28 on I-65 in Bowling Green, KY.

Ma come costruiscono, appoggiano un pavimento sulla terra? Non ci sono le fondamenta.
Dentro quel cratere sono finite 8 Corvette!!! Cos'erano soppalcate???
Corvette C4 LT1 93 Polo green - VENDUTA -
Corvette C5 '97
pare che nella zona ci sia un parco naturale dove queste voragini siano la norma !!
un bel casino, sembra che le voragini non si possano "bonificare" il pericolo per altre voragini vicine é alto e ora sarà un bel problema decidere sul dafarsi, potrebbe sparire tutto il museo in pochi minuti !!!
Poteva andare molto ma molto peggio...poteva venire rovinata anche una 1978 Indy Pace Car invece, fortunatamente ha interessato solo modelli banali ( insomma...paccottigl ia)
