Chevrolet’s Stars And Steel Collection Celebrates America’s 250th Anniversary And Honors Veterans
Chevrolet is waving the flag with a lineup of special edition US-built trucks and cars.
The Stars and Steel Collection of 2026 Silverados, Colorados and Corvettes feature appearance packages with American flag-inspired graphics to celebrate the USA’s 250th anniversary. $250 from each purchase will be donated to causes supporting U.S. military veterans.
“The Stars & Steel Collection celebrates a key milestone for the country that not only served as the birthplace of our brand but has also been its home for nearly 115 years,” Scott Bell, vice president of Global Chevrolet said in a news release. “Each vehicle in this collection is proudly assembled in the United States and honors the rich legacy of our nation.”
A unique Stars and Steel Corvette ZR1X will be auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale event in January with all of the proceeds going toward the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Here’s what you get with each Stars and Steel model:
CORVETTE
The Corvette is the only model with a restriction on the package as just 250 will be available to offer across the lineup of Stingray, Z06, ZR1 and ZR1X with the 3LT or 3LZ trim in either Arctic White with a Santorini Blue interior or Black with an Adrenaline Red interior. Each gets a stylized American flag graphic that wraps from the hood over the roof; “250” graphics on the doors and spoiler; specially designed sill plates; a commemorative plaque with build number; black wheels in either gloss, carbon-flash or carbon fiber; red brake calipers, seat belts, floor mat stitching and engine cover; and black exhaust tips.
