A member of my local Corvette Club just bought (from a dealer) a brand new 2013 Coupe (automatic) that had the 60th Anniversary Graphics Package. The car was white with the silver/bluish stripe down the middle and the 60th graphics embroidered on the seat backs. However, I noticed that it DID NOT have the 60th anniversary medallions on the fenders -- I asked him about it and he wasn't aware of any medallions. I know the 427 Convertible with the anniversary package has the medallions, but is that not included on the base coupe version with the 60th Anniversary package?

For info the car also had the GM accessory 7 Spoke Chrome Wheel Package (never saw those before) and the ZR1 Spoiler.

So -- anyone out there with the 60th Anniversary Package on a Base Coupe -- does it have the fender medallions?

No base coupes or convertibles or Grand Sports did not get them. Only reason they were made/ included on the 427 vert is because they used the Z06 front fenders that have holes in them for the Z06 badge. GM had to put something there to cover the holes in the fenders.

I'm not sure how this explains that many 427 convertibles that were not the AE model did not get the 60th anniversary fender badge. In fact, the OP's red convertible does not have them unless they have been added since he bought it. Many badges were being installed by the dealers. I think the answer is some '13's got them and some didn't. Every 427 AE model I have seen does indeed have them however. I have included a picture of a 427 convertible that I was looking at before I bought my AE model. Notice there are no fender badges.

That's a good point. My non AE 427 vert does not have the badges and does not have holes in the fenders. I'm also pretty sure that the badges are held on with double sticky tape (no holes required).

So -- anyone with a base coupe WITH the AE package please speak up (or anyone that's seen one).

Unfortunately, my GS with the three vertical openings in the front fenders doesn't have enough space for the 60th emblem. I suppose the 60th logo on four wheel caps, the waterfall, front and rear badges, steering wheel medallion, sills, embroidered seat backs and carpets is plenty. Krimminy!

Base coupes with the 60th Anniversary Graphics must be pretty rare judging by the responses. Maybe that's why that brand new 2013 was still unsold at the dealer til my fellow club member bought it. Anyone else have one?

Mine doesn't have them and im glad

Are you saying you don't have the AE graphics package or you don't have the badges? I'm not a fan of the graphics, but am just trying to determine if the badges are part of the AE package on the base coupe.

I have them on my 2013 Base coupe because I put them on. I put them on because it was my 6oth birthday present to myself. And since it's a 2013 I figured they kind of fit.

ours has the emblems.....

Our 60th Anniv Grand Sport Coupe did NOT have the side emblems.

traded this one for the 427 with 500 miles on it

That looks great! Where did you buy them and how did you attach 'em?

Willytrash

Ebay, I think they were around $38.00 plus shipping. They were new from a dealer who had them on Ebay. They always remind me of the birthday party the wife threw for me. I could have waited for the 75th anniversary model, but I wasn't sure if I would be around for that. I remember in 1973 when I was 20 when I bought my first new corvette it was the 20th anniversary model, but of course back then nobody thought of an anniversary model. So no such thing as adding emblems when none existed. P.S. They just stick on, you peel off the tape and just slap them on.

I have the stripes and everything else. I don't have the 60th emblem on my gs that everyone is talking about.

OK -- thanks for the info. I figured that the Grand Sport wouldn't have the badges because of the way the GS gills are designed. Not really any good place to put them. There doesn't seem to be a good reason not to have them on an AE base coupe, but the only AE base coupe I've ever seen didn't have the badges.

The 427 Anniv pkg (white w/stripe, blue 2 tone vert top, etc) was the only 427 w/60th badge on fender. Those other 427s you see w/badge were done by dealer or owner. I put one on mine (no holes).
