Physical Details
The anniversary package shows a yellow body and wing, black cabin, dark hood accents and dark wheels with bright outer rims. The Hot Wheels Newsletter release reference identifies yellow HLH56 with PR5 wheels. That wheel terminology is catalog evidence; a close wheel photograph would show the spoke detail more clearly than this package overview.
Packaging Details
The full front has gold-and-brown angular Corvette 70 artwork and a large 70 Years emblem. The upper-left panel names 2019 and 7/8; GRT01 appears at the hanger. GRT01 is the visible assortment marking, while HLH56 is the retained individual release identifier.
The lower name panel identifies ’19 Corvette ZR1 Convertible. A reverse view is still needed for the individual barcode, product-code panel and region. Inspect the angular artwork at the hanger for creases and the large clear blister for cracks or scuffing.
What to look for
HLH56 is the Corvette 70 release numbered 7/8. The gold-toned anniversary card and the yellow miniature are both visible in the full package photograph.

Variation Summary
This yellow anniversary release is distinct from the earlier orange GHB34 Factory Fresh car. Compare both the miniature’s color and the Corvette 70 7/8 card. A yellow repaint or swapped package is insufficient to establish HLH56.
Choosing one for your collection
Inspect the yellow wing edges and the black hood stripes for rubbing. Card corners and blister clarity matter separately from the condition of the car inside.
Ask for a top view if the wing blocks your view of the rear deck through the packaging.

Evidence and Research Scope
The six existing Shopify Files photographs were inspected and compared for paint, cabin color, graphics, visible wheel faces and front-card text. Three show complete package fronts and three show loose miniatures. The retained release catalog supplies toy identifiers and release history; the Hot Wheels Newsletter reference confirms the anniversary HLH56/PR5 entry. No underside or package-reverse photographs were inspected.

The stored record has zero completed-sale comparisons. No price range, rarity score, population estimate or market forecast is supplied. Valuation requires matched sales with condition, packaging, currency and sale date.
