I believe that is a 2003, not a 2006. Welcome to the CF!

All 1997 - 2004 Corvettes were C5s and had fold down headlights.

All 2005 - 2013 Corvettes are C6s and had exposed headlights, the first since model year 1962.

Also, since the first Corvette was a 1953 model, the 50th anniversary would be 2003.
