Default 2013 Grand Sport Steering Wheel Emblem?

I'm curious as to which is correct.

My 2013 GS has various emblems that designate it as a 60th anniversary Corvette. The sill plates, cross flags, etc. (photos below)

However, my steering wheel's center emblem has the Grand Sport logo that you can see in the photo.

Yesterday I saw another '13 GS, that had a "60th", logo, that I thought was only used on the 60th Anniversary Edition cars.

I asked the owner if he changed the emblem, and he said,..."no, this is the way mine came from Bowling Green."

So???

'13 GS with a 12/12 build date. Mine's same as yours. Presume it must have something to do with trim packages?

Default 60th Anniversary GS

Our 2013 GS built 5/12 has the 60th emblem. We have the 60th Anniversary 4LT with the Z25 60th Anniversary Design Pkg. It's an Arctic White Coupe without the Z30 Graphic Pkg. (Stripes) one of only 45 built.

Mine was built just after yours 1-11-13....trim is 2LT...but trim really shouldn't have anything to do with it.

Are your sill plates, and cross flags the same as mine?

Thanks but yours isn't the same model. It's a 60th Anniversary Edition.

So, I'd expect the 60th emblem on yours.

I have the same sill plates and 60th/flag emblems on the hood/rear fascia--I assumed that ALL 2013 Vettes had the 60th notation--but my mats are plain (no emblems) and the seat back stitching says Grand Sport. The only extra package that I have on mine--over the 3LT trim level--is the Grand Sport Heritage pkg, which simply lists the fender stripes and seat back stitching as items. I purchased the car off the lot last summer, but if I had ordered it to my specs, there's NO WAY I would have paid the $1195 up charge for those 'extras'….

Has nothing to do with trim packages, it's due to the Z25 60th Anniversary Package. That package overrides the standard GS steering wheel emblem and replaces it with the 60th emblem. Otherwise all 13 Grand Sports get the GS logo on steering wheel. Mine is 4LT and has GS on the steering wheel, and 60th badges on front bumper and door sills.

Thanks for the info. My mats were also plain, and I also have the Heritage Pkg.

Yup, they do soak ya for these options when you order new from Bowling Green as I did.

Had no choice, couldn't find the options I wanted in a dealer's inventory.
But, I was able to get 20% off on the Heritage Pkg., the NPP exhaust, headlamp buckets, wheels, and other goodies.

As for that GS I saw with the 60th steering wheel hub, well, I just don't know.
Maybe when his was built they ran out of the ones we have???

That's why I responded the way I did in post #4. Thanks.

Yes I know, that's why I specifically asked for 2013 owners.

But thanks.
