When GM unveiled the 50th Anniversary Edition Corvette in May of 2002, many Corvette enthusiasts were underwhelmed. While the new Anniversary Red is a very nice color and the new interior is quite handsome, the Corvette community was hoping for more. Historically, all the special edition Corvettes (pace cars, 25th Anniversary, 35th Anniversary, 40th Anniversary, '96 Collector's Edition, etc.) have always been just regular Corvettes with different trim and paint; but, hey, this time it could have been more. After all, the marque is FIFTY years old and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something really special.

In the opinion of many observers, GM didn't do 'something really special': The 2003 Anniversary Edition Convertible by Corvette Is that 'something special'? Forest Kingdom Library Keygen Idm. I don't think they hit the mark (personally); I like it -- but they just didn't get my blood pumping the way I'd hoped. But someone did. The chief designer for a company named, Bill Miller, along with a former GM designer, Steve Pasteiner, took what many of us 'Vette nuts were thinking to heart: 'What if someone took the look of the original 1953 Corvette -- and updated it to fit onto the high-tech chassis of the current C5 Corvette?'

And that's what they did. Magna Steyr, the original owners of the design, commissioned a showcar prototype with an eye toward having GM adopt it as 'THE' 50th Anniversary Edition Corvette. GM decided on a more conservative strategy (see photo above) and Magna-Steyr abandoned the idea. Steve Pasteiner's company,, purchased the rights to produce a limited edition series of this fantastic vehicle.

Now the die-hard Corvette enthusiast can have a 50th anniversary Corvette that fairly screams '50th Anniversary Corvette'!and here it is. To avoid confusion with the 'official' 50th Anniversary Edition Corvette, this car is called the ' 1953 Commemorative Edition' and you can own one. Steve's company is presently building and delivering customer cars. There's no way to know how many 1953CE's (for short) there'll be -- but it will certainly be far fewer than the 11,632 50th Anniversary Edition Corvettes that were produced by the Corvette assembly plant in Bowling Green in 2003 -- and likely even fewer than the original production run of 300 Corvettes in 1953. Note: Someone viewing this site asked, 'What did the 1953 Corvette look like?' I thought everyone knew but for those who don't: Is the 1953 Commemorative Edition for 'real'?
