March 6 (UPI) -- A visitor to a Florida Walmart captured video showing the aftermath of a parking disaster that left a car perched atop a classic 1959 Corvette.
Jason Motz, who posted the video to Facebook, said the Corvette was parked off to one side of the parking lot outside the Edgewood store when a driver "cutting through" the lot turned toward it and accidentally hit the gas instead of the brakes when she realized she was headed for a collision.
The Corvette's owner, Charlotte County Supervisor of Elections Paul Stamoulis, appears calm in the video as authorities and a tow truck work to extract the Corvette from underneath the larger car.
A friend of Stamoulis confirmed the car was a 1959 Corvette.
Commenters pointed out the body of the Corvette appears to be in good shape -- until the side obscured by the car comes into view in the video. The side panel has a vertical tear from the bottom to the hood.
"I felt so bad for the owner. I hate to see such a beautiful piece of machinery looking like that," Motz wrote. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^SHE^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ now I get it!

It's a shame to see such careless damage to a lovely C2, but that body is fiberglass and a first-rate body/paint shop will be able to make it like it was before the stupidity.

Somewhere, in some warehouse or barn. There are genuine OEM GM fiberglass replacement panels for that car. Finding them is the trick. LOL!!

I think 42,000 is a low estimate. Too many dents and scratches 
@jameslavish
If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.
This is inflation

Supervisor of Elections for a county of 160000 must make good bank to be able to own that car.
Or, he gets compensated in other ways.

That would be a good way to wreck a decent Plymouth Voyager. I would rather have a 63-4 Plymouth sport fury than the Vette.

C2 wasn't until 1963 Well - yes, you caught it - the "experts" who consider all of the solid rear axle Corvettes a "C1" will say the C2 came in 1963 with the IRS and Stingray body - but if one considers the body change from the 1953 to the next body style (like the one injured here), I like to call that C1 going to C2. I'm just ornery - and label mine a C3.

If a good reason for that was given, med emergency, etc, I'd need heavy sedation, it not, I'd need a prison cell!  you're thinking that backwards Jerry.... He'd need the prison cell to save his ass from your appreciation of what he did to your Vette... a decent cop and judge would sympathize with ya... I think you originally told me you were from Arkansas... I've heard.. "he needed killin'" was still a legal defense in Arkansas and Oklahoma....
