RESTORATION JOB ON ONE-MILLIONTH CORVETTE “UNACCEPTABLE”, SAYS MUSEUM
After more than 18 months, repairs have finally been completed on the one-millionth Corvette that was damaged after being swallowed by quicksand inside the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. But rather than jubilation, the unveiling of the noteworthy sports coupe was met with profound disappointment.
“It didn’t turn out well,” said museum spokesperson Royd Hemmer. “We used a body and fender guy we found on Craigslist who said he was a Corvette expert. Obviously, that wasn’t the case.”

Hemmer explained that the museum saved “thousands” on the restoration because, “the guy works on cars in his backyard on nights and weekends.”
“To be fair, he did tell us from the beginning that he’d probably have to use some parts from other Corvettes and that he doesn’t have a paint booth,” said Hemmer. “At least he got all the sand and stuff out of it.”
