We passed by the National Corvette Museum on our way to Cave City on Friday. We took the day to run into Bowling Green to get some errands taken care of (Oil Change for the truck and grocery shopping) and visit the museum. Leslie owned a Corvette back in the early 90s. David had passed through Bowling Green multiple times in the past but never had time to stop at the museum. They had quite a few old Corvettes, experimental cars, and a special Rat Fink car display. They had two of the 1953, first generation Corvettes on display. For David, the most iconic Corvette is the 1967 model year. Back in 2014, a portion of the museum was sucked down into a sinkhole. 8 Corvettes were pulled into the hole. Only two of them were salvageable. The other six were on display in their original condition, still covered in dirt and rocks. They even had a film on how they repaired the museum after pulling out the cars and filling in the sinkhole. They had several of the new mid-engine C8 (8th generation of Corvette) on display and they look pretty awesome.
