Chevrolet is celebrating America's 250th birthday with a limited-edition Stars and Steel package for its Corvette and pickup trucks. The package will be available on the American-made Corvette, as well as the Colorado and Silverado pickup trucks.
Many companies are using the occasion of the U.S. 250th birthday to roll out limited-edition patriotic wares. Chevy, having recently revived its Heartbeat of America slogan, is leaning on its all-American heritage by decorating white and black examples of these popular models to create what it calls the Stars and Steel Collection.
The decals are subdued but recognizable and include flag motifs of stars and stripes rendered in grayscale. On the Corvette, the package is applied as full-length flag stripes over the top, a three-stripe flag badge on each door that notes the years of the country's founding and its semiquincentennial, and everyone's favorite limited-edition special touch: unique sill plates.
The engine cover and brake calipers get a coat of Edge Red, and the wheels get a touch of red too. There are some trim-dependent details, such as the "250" decals on the end plates of bewinged models. If you're missing the colors of Old Glory, the Stars and Steel Corvette's interior can help. Arctic White versions come with a Santorini Blue interior and red seatbelts, while black paint is paired with an Adrenaline Red interior and the same red belts.
The floor mats get red stitching, and there's a serialized dash plaque denoting which car it is in the 250-example limited run. This American aesthetic package is available on all 2026 Vettes, Stingray to E-Ray, Z06, ZR1, and ZR1X; coupe or convertible; alongside the 3LT and 3LZ trim levels, adding $9995 to the bill.
For the trucks—including the Colorado and Silverados of the light-duty, heavy-duty, and EV varieties—there's no limit on how many will be built with the Stars and Steel treatment. White and black exterior hues are offered here as well, paired with an interior color that falls on the spectrum between gray and black, depending on the model.
For the Silverado EV, it starts with the RST trim and adds a stripe package, 24-inch gloss black wheels, a new heavy-duty Brembo brake system with red calipers, and black badges. Base price is $99,945 with the Extended Range battery and $108,445 with the Max pack.
