Because all Corvettes produced in 2003 had the front and rear silver 50th badging, many dealers mistakenly (they wouldn't do it intentionally, would thay?) advertise a non-AE as a "rare" anniversary edition model. In reality the non-AE red 2003 vettes are indeed rarer than the AE models which made up 11,632 of the 33,000 vettes sold that year, making the AE red the most comon color in 2003.
