Chevrolet is marking a monumental moment in American history—the nation’s 250th anniversary—with a special lineup designed for purpose-driven patriotism and true American craftsmanship. The new Stars & Steel Collection honors this milestone while spotlighting Chevrolet’s legacy and deep roots in the United States where the brand was founded nearly 115 years ago.
The Stars & Steel Collection: Saluting American Innovation
Chevrolet’s limited-edition Stars & Steel Collection spans five popular models: Corvette, Silverado EV, Silverado LD, Silverado HD, and Colorado—each designed to capture the spirit of American pride. Every vehicle showcases modernized design elements inspired by the American flag, curated exterior and interior color combos, and exclusive “250” graphics.
- Corvette: This collector’s item is limited to just 250 units across all coupe and convertible variants, featuring flag-inspired stripes, embroidered plaques showing each car’s sequence number, and bold accents in red or blue. Premium wheels and special interior touches deepen its exclusivity.
- Silverado EV: Bringing electric power with patriotic flair, the Silverado EV includes 24″ gloss black wheels, distinctive flag graphics, and an advanced Brembo heavy-duty brake system alongside a modern, comfortable Sky Cool Gray interior.
- Silverado LD: Combining power and luxury, the light-duty Silverado delivers a 6.2L engine, massive 22″ black wheels, dark essentials badging, and convenience features like a sunroof and advanced protection packages.
- Silverado HD: For those demanding serious capability, the heavy-duty model mates a 6.6L Duramax Diesel with off-road and trailering packages, plus 20″ wheels and numerous special-edition upgrades.
- Colorado: Compact yet rugged, the Colorado blends adventurous style with practical upgrades—Midnight Package accessories, 4WD, black wheels, red tow hooks, and spray-on bedliner make it a standout in the lineup.
All five models celebrate the best of Chevy’s innovative engineering and patriotic pride.
Giving Back with Every Purchase
To further honor America’s legacy, Chevrolet will donate $250 for every Stars & Steel vehicle sold to charities supporting veterans and military families. The collection’s debut will take place at the 2025 Army-Navy Game, and a one-of-a-kind Corvette ZR1X will be auctioned to benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

The attention to detail extends to the use of Paldao wood with laser-etched accents and embossed topographical maps adorning the seat backs, door trim, and map pockets.
