CORVETTE MARKS 60 YEARS IN 2013 WITH ANNIVERSARY DESIGN PACKAGE
Corvette marks its 60th anniversary in 2013 – and it is also the final year for the current
generation of the sports car. To commemorate the production milestone and give the
"C6" a proper send-off, Chevrolet offers the Corvette 427 Convertible Collector Edition –
as well as a 60th Anniversary Package that will be available on all 2013 Corvette
models.
Evoking the heritage of early 427-powered Corvettes, the 427 Convertible Collector
Edition takes Corvette convertible performance to new territory, thanks to the Z06-based
LS7 engine and combination of Z06 and ZR1 chassis/suspension components. See the
separate release for complete details on the 427 Convertible Collector Edition.
All 2013 Corvette models, including the 427 Convertible, will be available with a 60th
Anniversary Design Package, featuring an Arctic White exterior with a Blue Diamond
leather-wrapped interior with suede accents. Convertible models will have a blue top.
Additional content includes a ZR1-style rear spoiler, special badging, gray-painted brake
calipers and the "60th" logo on the wheel center caps, steering wheel and seat head
restraints. An optional graphics package adds full-length racing stripes in Pearl Silver
Blue, including a tonal stripe stitched into the convertible top, extending the graphic
theme over the roof.
And even without the 60th Anniversary Design Package, all 2013 Corvettes feature 60th
Anniversary badges on the fascias and the "waterfall" panel on convertible models, as
well as 60th logos in the instrument panel gauge cluster and on the sill plates. Additional
new and revised features include:
Available black-painted five-spoke aluminum wheels, specific to Corvette and
Grand Sport models
ZR1-style rear spoiler is available on Corvette and Grand Sport models
Exterior colors: Black returns and new Night Race Blue Metallic.
