The lineup spans five vehicle models: Corvette, Silverado EV, Silverado LD, Silverado HD, and Colorado. Each is outfitted with curated exterior and interior combinations, limited appearance packages, and American-themed graphics.

The Stars & Steel Collection is designed to highlight Chevrolet’s American manufacturing footprint and historic ties to the U.S. market.
