1962 Sinkhole Corvette Set for Triumphant Comeback

The resto job is just part of the “Corvette Cave In: The Skydome Sinkhole Experience,” which opened in 2016. The amazing display helped make lemonade of a sad situation, obviously. But the immense media attention that resulted helped the museum attract a whopping 228,744 visitors in 2017. And as the museum itself stated, “the casualties were luckily just inanimate objects,” after all.

Kudos to them for turning a tragedy into a positive thing. If it were us, we’d probably still be shedding tears over the disaster.

If you can’t make it to the last sinkhole Corvette’s unveiling at the Skydome at 9:00am CT for the unveiling, be sure and tune in to watch it live on the Museum’s Facebook page!
