    This museum is a MUST see for ANY car enthusiast. 👍
    If you get a chance to go make sure to tour the Corvette plant next door, which is the only plant in the world to make the Corvette! 😉

    I was there with my 1977 Corvette it's a very cool place and I was really heart broken over the Corvette's that went in the sink hole because some of them could never be fixed ever and no I never took the Corvette plant tour because they where working on the plant at the time I was there and yes I am a member of the museum and of NCRS too and I am related to Louie Chevrolet I got some very old pitchers of him all I ve seen of him there is a bronze bust

    Hey, Tim! Thanks for posting this very cool video about your latest visit the Corvette museum. What a great layout they've got there. I remember the sinkhole incident. Heartbreaking to see some of those beauties in the aftermath condition they were recovered in. Whenever I travel, I like to catch a car museum. Closer to home for me in Europe, I've been able to go the Mercedes, BMW, Lamborghini and Ferrari museums, and my favourite - the Porsche museum in Stuttgart (yearly pilgrimage). Sharing your passion for cars! From Switzerland - Andrew 🍁
