In 2026, Chevrolet will celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States with its Stars & Steel collection, featuring special Corvette and Silverado models.

The American carmaker is kicking off the celebration early with a lineup of stars, stripes, steel, and American swagger.

If you’re a fan of their American-made vehicles, just wait till you see these ones.

And yes, there will be flags. Lots of flags.

The star of the show is the unique 2026 Corvette ZR1X

Chevrolet says the Stars & Steel Collection represents ‘purpose-driven patriotism and American craftsmanship’, and the automaker isn’t being shy about spreading that message across its showrooms.

Five different models are getting the red, white, and blue treatment, which feels fitting when Chevy notes that nearly 87 percent of Americans live within range of a Chevrolet dealership.

But the flash isn’t the full story.

Chevy announced that it will donate $250 for every Stars & Steel vehicle sold to nonprofits supporting the veteran community.

And if you’re feeling extra generous (or ambitious), you can even aim for the crown jewel: a one-of-one 2026 Corvette ZR1X.

This special Corvette will debut at the Army–Navy game on December 13 ,before heading to the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction in January.

According to Chevrolet, every dollar of the winning bid will go to Tunnel to Towers, supporting families of fallen first responders and injured veterans.

In total, 250 Stars & Steel Corvettes will be built, available from the Stingray all the way to the ZR1X, as long as you choose a 3LT or 3LZ trim.

Buyers can pick between Arctic White over Santorini Blue or Black over Adrenaline Red, two combos that look ready-made for a patriotic parade lap.

Each car gets its own build number, a full-length flag-inspired stripe, a ‘250’ flag badge, red cabin accents, blacked-out exhaust tips, and enough presence to make Uncle Sam salute.

Chevrolet hasn’t released its pricing yet

Truck fans aren’t left out, either.

The Silverado, Silverado HD, and Silverado EV each get Stars & Steel variants, offered in Summit White or Black with flag graphics and big, bold wheels.

The Colorado Trail Boss Crew Cab joins the fun as well, adding a sport bar, light bar, skid plates, bedliner, and tech goodies.

Pricing is still under wraps, but production kicks off in early spring 2026.

This is just in time to roll into Fourth of July celebrations in true Stars & Steel fashion.
