National Corvette Museum: Sink Hole Swallows Corvettes

Tragedy struck the National Corvette Museum today when a large sink hole formed under the yellow skydome portion of the museum swallowing eight collector Corvettes.

My last visit to the museum was in 2009 during the 15-year anniversary of the museum that included a Corvette Caravan on the drive to Bowling Green, Kentucky.

The one millionth Corvette produced was one of the cars that fell into the sink hole.


Here's a link to news coverage including a video of the sink hole:

Random Photo of the Month: One Sweet 1965 Sting Ray

Saw this sweet 1965 Corvette Sting Ray "fastback" coupe at the 2013 Nebraska Corvette Association's All Corvette Car Show in September.  

This car is in the "mid-year" C2 generation that featured a completely new Mako Shark body style inspired by a deep sea fishing expedition.  The 1965 model year was the first year to offer four-wheel disc brakes and optional side pipes.  All of the cars for this model year were assembled at a plant in St. Louis, MO (now closed).

Nice car!

Random Photo of the Month: Corvette at the Roosevelt Arch in Yellowstone National Park

I took this pic at the Roosevelt Arch in Yellowstone National Park a few years ago. 

The Roosevelt Arch is located just outside of Gardiner, Montana at the North entrance of Yellowstone.  The arch was constructed in 1903 and is inscribed with the phrase "For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People." A time capsule is embedded in the arch that includes a Bible, a picture of President Theodore Roosevelt, newspapers, and other everyday items.

Random Photo of the Month: 1954 Corvette Convertible

Saw this 1954 Corvette convertible at the Corvette show sponsored by the Nebraska Corvette Association in Lincoln, Nebraska in September this year.  The next car in line is another 1954 convertible.  The show featured row of nice C1 Corvettes prominently displayed at the front of the show.  Very nice.

If you ever get to Lincoln, look me up.  I'll be riding in a 2003 Millenium Yellow Corvette convertible.
