"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. "Each vehicle in this collection is proudly assembled in the United States and honors the rich legacy of our nation."

Production is expected to begin in early spring 2026 with package pricing to be announced at a later date.

In addition to giving the final auction cost of the "one of one" Corvette to Tunnels To Towers, a nonprofit group that helps build homes for the families of first responders and military troops lost in the line of duty, Chevy will also donate $250 to nonprofits that support the veteran community for every vehicle from the "Stars and Steel" collection that gets sold.

The "Stars and Steel" collection follows an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in January establishing a White House task force to lead planning and execution of celebrations for America's 250th anniversary. 

The White House told Fox News Digital it would be engaging with the entire federal government, state and local governments, the private sector, nonprofits and educational institutions to put on various events and other initiatives honoring the nation’s heritage leading up to the official anniversary in 2026.

The 250th anniversary celebrations will include, among other events, a UFC fight on the White House South Lawn June 14, President Trump's 80th birthday.
