[DeTomaso] Corvette Reclaimed by Earth

[Larry - Ohio Time]

I paid a visit to the museum and factory about 5 years ago. Very nice time
place to visit. 

 

As with many things you can pick up your new Corvette there. As I was
exiting the museum someone was picking up there new car. I watched as 2 or 3
photos were snapped with the new owner, his friend and factory sales person.
Very hoe hum photos. I walked over and said if I was picking up a new
Corvette I would be MUCH more excited!

 

I took his camera and said now let take some shots. I worked them up from
high fives, chest bumps to picking the new owner up. Handing the camera back
I said now that how one picks up a Corvette at the factory!.

This is really sad, I had the opportunity to tour it in 2007 and it was a
great afternoon, from the photos abaible online, I do not see how the
building can be salavaged and be declared safe and secure for the future.

Not joking.

This is bad, I hope that they can be recovered, I've been there and they had
nothing but spectacular examples plus all the concepts and the only 83
Corvette in existence.
