C7's trashed alright, looks to be from rear.
'7 battery in rear like C6 widebodies? Overheated maintainer?
Good grief, fuel tanks are right there.

Everything else in the showroom has extensive smoke damage also, any other vehicles & offices covered w/ soot.
No, none of it will buff-out.

They claim a light above the car caught on fire and dripped on it causing the fire.
