Corvette Museum
Stopped in today at Bowling Green. The eight cars that fell into the sink hole have all been restored and on display.
Some of my favorites: |

Last time I was there they had a window in the floor that displayed 3 cars that they decided not to bring up. Has that changed?

Hmmm.. I was expecting to see a display like that but didn't. Baby Doll wasn't feeling her best so I had to rush a bit through some displays. You are probably right.

We were there as part of the 2014 NCC. The sinkhole was still open and they had barricaded it off and you could walk right up to the edge

That Astro Vette has always been a favorite. I built the model as a kid.

You are correct, I should have read better, appears 5 unrestored are on display with no attempt to return to original condition.
Not sure why they made that decision, as money could be raised to restore each of them. |
