oldsmobile bricks
I walked into my credit union (Lansing automakers) AKA Oldsmobile employee credit union. Oldsmobile marble bricks for sale.
The one with the circle is the only color left!
If you want one let me know, no certificate with these!
Sorry for pilfering the pic from somebody else, my camera grew legs!
I NEED COMPLETE ADDRESS PLEASE PM/ TO CANADIAN RESIDENTS, I WILL GO TO THE UPS STORE THIS WEEK TO GET QUOTES
Regards, Pat

$25.00 is what they are selling for, not trying to take advantage of anybody but I think a couple of bucks for my time/gas is reasonable plus the $ for shipping?
FYI looks like they are running low maybe a dozen on hand at the branch closest to me. TO CLARIFY $25 IS WHAT MY BANK IS GETTING FOR THEM SO $27.00 PLUS FREIGHT!

bricks
Sandy, to the best my knowledge these bricks were cut from planters/ retaining walls at building 70 AKA Olds administration building in Lansing, case in point my avatar is showing building 70 in the background. This has been fenced off for some time!
These buildings are nicknamed the ivory towers due to the marble that was used to erect.

Oh!! Well that's pretty cool, lol. I wasn't understanding the history of the bricks, I guess. That's a nice looking building - thanks for the pics. It's sad that they're all closed down. Every time I drive by the Chrysler building here in Twinsburg, it's sad. They've almost got it completely demolished. 
An era gone by, I guess.....

I have not received mine yet. UPS says tomorrow, so I have no worries. However, shipping to Canada seems really confusing to UPS. My brick has changed hands many time.

I like that it passed through Lansing on its way to me. I look forward to seeing it soon.

I bought one at Homecoming back in 09. I have the Red Rocket one (mid 80's style)
It's sitting on my bookcase and it doesn't move! I afarid to use it as a display piece thinking it will get stolen or broken. If that happens this would be me ---->
