70th Anniversary Luggage Set is No Longer Available

As we approach the end of another Corvette model year, we are learning about a number of options that have been discontinued, or “built out” as they like to say about those options that won’t be returning next year. We’ve already seen the exterior colors Elkhart Lake Blue and Caffeine are no longer offered on remaining 2023s, and according to an update on GM’s 2023 Corvette Order Guide, we have a 70th Anniversary accessory item that is no longer available.

The 70th Anniversary Package for the 2023 Corvette has been a hit with buyers, but during the last order cycle we saw that it was partially on constraint, meaning that the quantities were limited for ordering. We saw this first on the Stingray’s order cycle earlier in May, and then again when the Z06 order cycle started. So it could be that GM is winding down the package as we believe there will be just one more order cycle in June before the 2023 model year official ends on September 1st.

That analysis appears to be reinforced with the news that the 70th Anniversary travel bags are no longer available according to the 2023 Order Guide’s distribution updates posted on Monday, May 29th.

In addition to all the great content that comes with the 70th Anniversary Package for the Stingray and Z06, buyers also receive a set of special travel bags featuring the 70th Anniversary logos on each side. Each bag is done in two-tone black leather with suede and red stitching like we see on the Corvette Stingray’s seats. These bags fit perfectly side-by-side of each other in the rear trunk and they are valued at $1,495 for the pair.

GM is still offering a non-70th Anniversary travel bags for $750 each or $1,495 a pair on Chevrolet accessories.

  1. For those of us who ordered a 70th Anniversary will GM give us the leather bags shown on the photo instead? If not, then GM should give us a discount on the price of the 70th Anniversary Package for the missing bags.

  2. Why is it that GM CANT DO ANYTHING RIGHT..all the way through?? I purposely ordered the 70th Anniversary Edition because of all the pkg contained. Now I read the Luggage is DISCONTINUED!! Fine…give me the $1,495.00 DISCOUNT OFF THE $6,000 PRICE..Thank you very much!!

  3. Give me my $1495.00 discount from the $5,995.00 I am paying for the Anniv.Pkg. Why cant GM do anything right, ALL THE WAY THRU???

  4. I have a White Pearl 70th Anniversary special edition Z51 on order with a target production week of 6/19/2023.
    GM has done an enormous amount right! If the car gets delivered with the luggage, that is great. If not, it is still great and I feel very fortunate to get the car at all. With or without the bags is hardly something to feel any anxiety over.

  5. Does this mean that an allocated and VIN sequenced 70th anniversary being built this week will not include luggage? Or is this for future orders?
