The National Corvette Museum plans to display the sinkhole-damaged Corvettes before they're taken to GM's Mechanical Assembly specialty shop for repairs.
According to Museum spokeswoman Katie Frassinelli, quoted by Detroit Free Press, the damaged cars will be displayed from April through July. NCM will begin retrieving the vehicles in a couple of weeks, she added.

Eight Chevrolet Corvettes were swallowed by a 40-foot (12-meter) sinkhole that developed inside the museum's Skydome earlier this month. Two of them were on loan from General Motors, while the other six are owned by the National Corvette Museum.

Chevrolet has announced it will oversee the restoration of the Corvettes. The entire process will be supervised by Ed Welburn, vice president of GM Global Design.
