Do all 03's have the 50th anniversary emblem? I know all 03's are 50 year cars but some were designated as collectors cars. Just trying to find out how they are marked.

All 2003 Corvette's Z06's, Coupe's and vert's all shared the same 50th anniversary badge's, the Coupe and vert say a special color called anniversary red for a total of 11,632 with zero of them being Z06 cars!
Thanks guys that answered my question! I had a dealer today tell me that his 03 was a "special" collectors car because of the emblems. I needed to know if they all were marked that way & they are.
It's not something that adds value, if that's what you're getting at.
Maybe not now....but Corvettes have been made for 62 years, only 1 year is the 50th, 8 model years for the C5 4 being Z and only 1 50th...when you make that many cars any distinction will be worth something at the auction block in 10-15 years
How rare is a 2003 Z06 50th anniversary edition? Is it just the trunk emblem that marks it or is there more ways to tell?
I too own a 2003 Z06 with the 50th Anniversary badges and wondered the same thing initially. Yes all 2003 Corvettes were 50th anniversary model year cars, but they were not all 50th anniversary edition cars. One special paint scheme and interior package was designated as the Commemorative 50th Anniversary Edition, as momo20 indicated. It's kinda sad to see so many responses with only one answering your question correctly. Many of us log in to Corvette Forum seeking info and/or help from knowledgeable owners, yet we often have to wade through many useless and inaccurate responses from people who know too little to even know how wrong they are!
I wanted a MY 2003 because of the 50th Anniv but had to go with the best deal I could find. I think there will be some additional value another 9 years from now when they are 20 years old. At least for a nice low mile version, probably in the less common colors of EB or MY.

Salesman will tell you anything. I remember test driving a 99 SS Camaro back about 12 years ago and we saw a C5 at the light and he was telling me the Camaro was a faster car.
I wonder about the future value of these cars also. Mine has 12k on it and I've owned it 09. I can tell how many Z's and in what color, but can't find anything about how many TR Z's had the mod red interior. I like to think that will make it special, but who knows.

That dealer obviously knows very little about Vettes. The true 50th Anniversary Edition Cars (anniversary red in color, 1SC option package) are worth a bit more than the regular 2003 Vettes. No Z06s were 50th Anniversary Editions.
As stated, ALL 03 vettes were 50th. Anniversary cars with all the standard colors and options. But there was only ONE Anniversary Edition (AE) that came with one color, Anniversary Red, Shale interior and Champagne colored thin spoke wheels. It had every option offered in vettes as standard and then some extras that was not on any other 03 Vette. It is not considered a collection car or rare. It will bring a little more than a non AE vette. Hope I explained it a little better than what a dealer told you.
Arent all '03's 50th anniversary?
