Welcome to "NCM Central", the electronic news report from the National Corvette Museum. Here you will find news on NCM events and happenings, Corvette Store specials, GM Corvette Assembly Plant updates, Corvette Racing reports and more.


Reserve Your “Special” Flint Brick Number by Monday, May 31

As of Tuesday, June 1, the Museum will begin assigning numbers to the Flint bricks. This means you are running out of time to reserve a low number or a special number for your Flint Brick. Commemorate a special date, time or VIN number up to four digits and have it engraved on a special plate attached to your Historic Flint Brick. Reserved number bricks are available for a $200 donation. After June 1, your number might not be available. A list of the numbers that have already been reserved is available via our website. You may also make a donation of $100, and receive a brick with an NCM-assigned four–digit number. These lasting pieces of Corvette History have been donated to the Museum by Chevrolet, and all proceeds benefit our Building Campaign. The Historic Flint Bricks are relics of the Corvette Assembly Plant in Flint, Michigan, the home of the 1953 Corvette. Find out more about this special fundraiser and order your Flint Brick here: https://www.corvettemuseum.com/flint-bricks/ or call (800) 53-VETTE.
