Lemans Blue Only. I will never own a commemorative edition if they made it in yellow.

Not true about the options.

I assume both tops if a coupe?

No.
You may be thinking about the 03's, which all are called anniversary vettes, not to be confused with anniversary editions.

The only way it could be a commemorative is that it was repainted but that should be very easy to spot. Your VIN will tell you for sure......

Look at RPO codes in glove box, I believe LeMans Blue is 19U, If yours doesn't have that code its not a CE. Also on the coupe and vert the only color was Shale, not to sure on the Z06. The RPO 1SC is the Commerative package, 79U is the paint code for yellow.
Here's a pic of my CE coupe. If it's not this color it's not a CE.

Just checked the list, and the above covers it as far as options are concerned.
They came well equipped, but not everything standard.Mine is missing the BSM's , and the license plate surround which I bought later.
