CHEVROLET TO RESTORE CARS DAMAGED IN CORVETTE MUSEUM SINKHOLE

General Motors has announced that it will refurbish eight Corvettes that were damaged in the sinkhole that swallowed them Feb. 12 at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky.

The museum is independently owned, operated and funded, but GM said it would rehab the eight fallen sports cars. The automaker plans to pay for any repairs that aren’t covered by insurance, while the museum is raising funds to repair its showroom. To make a donation go to store.corvettemuseum.com.

“The vehicles at the National Corvette Museum are some of the most significant in automotive history,” GM global product chief Mark Reuss said in a statement. “There can only be one 1-millionth Corvette ever built. We want to ensure as many of the damaged cars are restored as possible so fans from around the world can enjoy them when the museum reopens.”

The museum owned six of the cars and GM owned two that were on loan.
