As we planned our May road trip, Ray signed us up to tour the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. It was quite wonderful.
Lots of car history, beautiful vettes on display, and various films discussed the design, styles, etc through the years.
Here's the restored one millionth vette. It was a victim of the sinkhole disaster, but was retrieved and put back into its original glory.
Ray has had a few Corvettes through the years. He's currently a Camaro man, but you never know when he might decide he needs to be rayvette again. He did say he would pay for the museum delivery service. You get to come pick up your car, have time on the track, and a full day of attention. Zoom . Zoom
Here's a view into the famous sinkhole. Kentucky is full of cave systems. Alas, the Skydome area became a victim in 2014 at 5:30 am. The security footage shows part of the room collapse with eight priceless Corvettes (including the 1 millionth and 1.5 millionth.) Fortunately no one was there or hurt.
Over the course of time, all cars were retrieved but three were beyond repair or replacement - just crumpled metal. Five cars were repaired or replaced thanks to donors and are on display now.
Corvettes are a unique vehicle - distinctive, fast, and a lot of bang for the pricey buck. We enjoyed our tour.
