confused....what would make them specific to corvettes? I have the Illinois special corvette plates but they are not vanity plates, they were issued by Illinois during a short promotion.

Any plate that rode a Corvette. But it may or may not be a vanity. A vanity plate that was ordreed for a Corvette, even if it made no reference to a Corvette. MY RIDE on a Corvette would be a Corvette vanity but after passing thru several owners it could loose its significance as being a Corvette vanity as the owner of the plate currently would not know where it began its life.
One would hardly buy a vanity plate that had a reading of RED VETTE and ride it around on a Mercedes. It may happen if a man got married who had a Corvette with MY VETTE on it and had triplets he would need to get, possibly a Mercedes or a Suburban. It is rare but it happens.
Idaho has a Corvette marked plate but it comes with a state issued
number or it can be ordered as a vanity plate. I purchased one from a license plate dealer with a three digit number on it. Also have an Illinois specialty with a number 17 on it
As a side note there have been plates issued to "special" people non ordinary. Years ago b4 vanities in Pa there were two local brothers of which one was an attorney. Not sure of the other one. But anyway one of them had, year after year, his initials and a number on his plate. Possibly both of them. I wasn't aquainted with them and had no real iterest in plates at the time. Sometime after they passed the garage, where the previous years plates hung was torn down and most likey went to the garbage. Pa along with other states issued new one every year with different number.
Until approximately 12 years ago Ohio would issue you the same number but then stopped the procedure. An Ohio driver relalyed this to me. I would suppose one would need to request it.
