The Stones celebrated 50 in 2012, and they arguable broke up during the 86 - 88 years to work on many solo projects...
As previously mentioned, Thunderchickens took time off, celebrated 50 in 2005
Vettes celebrated 50 and had a year off (1983) but still celebrated 50 in 2003
Camaro's actually took 7 1/2 years off (everyone forgets that 1970 was really a half year and the first units didn't get produced until February of 1970
Shelby Cobra celebrated it's 50th Anny in 2015 with a limited production run... and there is NOT 50 years of Cobra's
Volkswagen Beetle, celebrated with a 50th, and took time off of production
So did Mini (arguably a weird situation since several companies owned the rights to build the Mini)
Harley Davidson and Dodge both had 100 year anniversary editions of vehicles. For Harley, they had a LOT of time off of motorcycle production, and Dodge just tacked on the moniker to different vehicles, like the Charger and Challenger in 2014... to celebrate Dodge, not the specific car... although they did make a 25th Anniversary Viper, and that car took a couple years off....
I think any anniversary of anything is based on when it first happened, not whether or not there was a continuous run...

That looks to be the consenus. Technically the vette did produce the 83 car ,but it was a mess. They built I can't remember how many, but quality issues and access to parts had them abort til 84. The cars that were built were either crushed or titled as 84s with one know car having an 83 model year listing. Those were sad times in Corvette land.
The anniversary thing really doesn't make sense to me though in that way. I never claimed to think like most other people though.
