The police still have to figure out the causes of this incident, but the scale of the damage done to the museum is impressive. Eight Corvette models fell into a hole that formed in the exhibition floor, 12 meters in diameter and up to nine meters deep.

Not all the cars belong to the museum; two of them – a 1991 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 Blue Devil – were rented from General Motors. Fortunately, all the exhibits were insured, and the insurance company will cover the repair costs.

The damaged exclusive Corvette models include:

The director of the National Corvette Museum said that all these models are rare in their own way, and each has its own unique history. He estimates the damage to the museum at hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The National Corvette Museum is located in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and right next to it is the Chevrolet Corvette plant. Today the museum continues to operate as usual, with only the site of the collapse cordoned off.
