I paid $100 for one engraved brick not too long after they tore it down in 2003. Now it is $75 for 3. Not a good return on investment, I guess, other than I've enjoyed looking at it on the shelf for the past decade.

Is that right ,we had painters, inspectors, assy members give use a talk on how they built 53-55 and later moved to build the C2's . And how and why they did what they did .SACE members will remember them telling us that NCRS saying what they say has a lot of BS in it saying they dint do this or that. They told stories about NCRS telling "THEM" that what they say never happened and they build the Corvettes. They dint like NCRS arguing about what they did back then to keep the line moving.
The plant where the original 300 Corvettes were built was later known as the General Motors Assembly Research Center (GMARC). When I worked at the Fremont Plant, I went back there for A-Body pilot programs during 'change-over' in the late 70’s and early 80’s. It was a pretty small plant as assembly plants go. It was very memorable with a drive up ramp and parking lot on the roof. You can see the ramp to the roof in the top two pics on the left above. At that time, there were a lot of nostalgic pictures of the early Corvette assembly.
I remember JohnZ saying he worked there in the late ‘60’s when it was the Chevrolet Pilot Line.
The 50th Anniversary of the Corvette which was organized by Noland and SACC in Flint, MI was a very cool event.
To bad GM pulled all their support shortly before the event took place.
Although it didn't do anything to ruin the festivities.
Talking with the assembly plant workers was very interesting along with hearing the speakers at the banquet.

I will gladly pay $75 for that yellow and blue wall.

Those two photos are of the St. Louis Corvette plant, not the Flint plant the Corvette Museum is selling bricks from, which was originally the Customer Delivery Building for the big Flint Assembly Plant next door (which is still operating).
