For human beings, turning 50 means middle age, a little over halfway through life's journey. But few car models ever make it to 50, and if they do, rarely retain the sprit and excitement of their earlier years. Well, one rare exception to that rule is the Chevrolet Corvette. It's 50 years young, and in the prime of its life. Maybe middle age isn't so bad after all.
Of course, few of us have had such an exciting journey through life as the Chevrolet Corvette. Born in the early 50s as a super-stylish young roadster, the 'Vette was a feisty pre- adolescent during the 60s, a tortured teenager during the 70s gas crunch, and finally emerged into the 80s all grown up as America's Big Daddy sports car. The 90s saw the Corvette gain the refinement of middle age, without losing the tire-shredding fire of its youth. And now in the first years of the 21st century, Chevrolet celebrates the Corvette's five decades with a special edition 50th Anniversary model which is available in both hatchback coupe and convertible. No, it's not the much anticipated C6 , that comes next year , but rather the current C5 platform, now with standard fog lamps, dressed up with special Anniversary Red paint, 50th anniversary badges, and champagne-painted 5-spoke alloy wheels , 17s in the front and 18s in the back.
Inside, the 50th Anniversary plastic fantastic features a unique Shale interior color, and a host of new standard features shared with all 2003 Corvettes. These include new sport seats, that in the Anniversary car wear embroidered 50th Anniversary badges, and dual zone climate controls.
