Default So----the 2003

Below is a listing of all the OEM colors used on the 2003:

Galaxy Silver
Electron Blue
White
Black
Torch Red
Yellow
Med Spiral Gray
Anniversary Red Pearl Tri-coat

So my question is do all the 2003's regardless of color sport the 50th anniversary emblems or were they reserved for the AR color only?

We have been looking at C5's for my husband and I have seen several 03's that boast being the 50th anniversary edition and some have emblems and some don't---some have a 50th symbol on the tach and speedo. What is right and what is wrong?

Anyone able to answer this for me---I'd appreciate it.

It's my understanding that all 2003 Vettes have the anniversary emblem. I've seen them on all color Corvettes too. However, if I'm wrong, someone will pipe in and correct me. But I do believe all 2003s have that emblem.

All should be sporting the 50th emblem but only AV Red is a true anniversary edition. Not to sure about the logos on the intrument cluster.

Lori - Here's a link on the 50th Anniversary cars that might answer some questions....click here!

All '03 cars had the special light grey 50th Anniversary emblems on the front, rear and on the waterfall for the convertibles. I can't speak on the instrument clusterm but I would think only the cars with 1SC (50th Anniversary Special Edition) package had that.

The 50th Anniversary Special Edition, available only during the 2003 model year on coupe and convertible models, is a tribute to a half-century of automotive leadership. It includes special Anniversary Red exterior paint, specific badging, Shale interior and champagne-painted anniversary wheels with special emblems. It also features embroidered badges on the seats and floormats, padded door armrests and grips and the convertible features a Shale top. The package includes Magnetic Selective Ride Control.

Hope that clears it up a little....

All '03's had the 50th Anniversary emblems but I believe that was it. Only the AE cars had the other stuff like the floor matts with the 50th Anniversary logo embroidered on it and the logo on the gauge cluster.

My '03 has the emblems on gauge cluster (as well as front and back and between the seats). Mine's Millennium Yellow, not the special edition.

My Spiral Gray Met has the 50th logo on the gauges as well as the hood and rear deck. All 2003 car were 50th Anniversary cars, but only the AR color cars were 50th Edition cars.

Only the true 50th anniversary cars (RPO code 1SC) have a 50th badge on each side of the car... every other badge is the same.
