A New Shape in Bricks for the NCM Boulevard 
As part of our expansion we will offer a colorful Corvette Boulevard experience to guests visiting and for the first time, we are offering uniquely styled “hexagon” bricks that will creatively line our indoor Corvette Boulevard!
These unique bricks are available at $200 for members and $250 for non-members (non-members purchasing a brick will receive a one-year Individual membership). Each hexagon brick can be engraved with three lines of text and your choice of Corvette generation or NCM logo engraved at the top. Bricks will be placed in the order they are received and are scheduled to be installed as part of the expansion completion in 2009.
