Chevrolet will celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with an array of American-made cars and trucks called the Stars & Steel Collection. A lineup of uniquely designed models with specific paint, patriotic decals, and premium options, the Stars & Steel Collection is inspired by the American craftsmanship and purpose-driven patriotism that has been a core part of Chevy’s DNA for nearly 115 years. Chief among the brand’s Stars & Steel offerings will be America’s sports car, the Corvette.

USA-1: From Special Editions To Appearance Packages 

A full brand initiative that includes the Silverado, Silverado HD, Silverado EV, Colorado, and Corvette, the Stars & Steel Special Edition celebrates the rich legacy of domestic innovation that Chevrolet continues to fuel. Each Stars & Steel Special Edition model will feature a curated design package. Additionally, Chevrolet will offer a Stars & Steel Appearance Package that will create a cohesive patriotic theme across their entire truck lineup. This package will feature American flag striping, “250” graphics, and content that is tailored to the specific trim of the vehicle.

Corvette: From Stingray To ZR1X

Unlike the trucks, the Corvette Stars & Steel Limited Edition will be just that: limited. Offered on just 250 cars that will span all models and trim levels, from Stingray to ZR1X, the Corvette Stars & Steel Limited Edition will be paired exclusively with the 3LT/3LZ trim level. Buyers can choose either Arctic White paint with a Santori Blue interior or Black paint with an Adrenaline Red interior. From there, the factory will add: 

  • American flag-inspired full-length stripes in Satin Silver or Satin Black 
  • “250” flag graphics on doors and spoiler ends (when properly equipped)
  • Black Gloss, Carbon Flash, or available Carbon Fiber Wheels (depending on the model)
  • Edge Red calipers, Red seatbelts, Red-stitched floor mats, and a Red engine cover (depending on the model)
  • Black exhaust tips and select accessories by model
  • An interior build plaque featuring the car’s build sequence number
  • Unique sill plates

Supporting Our Military

For every Stars & Steel vehicle sold, Chevrolet will donate $250 to nonprofits that support the veteran community. Additionally, a one-of-one 2026 Corvette ZR1X, inspired by the Stars & Steel Collection, will cross the block at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2026 on Saturday, January 24th. One hundred percent of the car’s hammer price will go to Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Tunnel to Towers Foundation is a nonprofit that honors fallen first responders and supports injured veterans and their families through mortgage-free homes and financial assistance.

Celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, the Stars & Steel Collection stands as a rolling tribute to American ingenuity, patriotism, and the brand’s century-long legacy of building machines with purpose. From limited-edition Corvettes to special-edition trucks and EVs, each model embodies the craftsmanship and pride that have defined Chevy since its earliest days. With charitable initiatives supporting veterans, Stars & Steel is more than a collection; it’s a celebration of the people, values, and heritage that continue to drive America forward.
