History: Tennessee is known nationwide as "Big Orange Country", which is where this 1951 Chevy Pickup acquired the name "Orange Destiny."
In 1951 the Tennessee football team won the National Championship, giving them universal bragging rights.
The Tennessee license plate in 1951 was shaped like the state and painted orange with white numbers to honor the teams National Championship win.
Only 6-cylinder engines were available in all Chevrolet cars and trucks in 1951, as the 265 V8 didn't appear on the scene until 1955. Cars were equipped with a 6-cylinder engine and either a Powerglide transmission or a 3-speed on the column. Trucks were equipped with the same engine and either a 3-speed on the column transmission or a 4-speed in the floor.
Early "hot rodders", who were financially able to added equipment like Offenhauser split manifolds with two carburetors instead of one and dual exhaust. This gave them more horsepower and, of course, bragging rights.
This orange truck, bearing some of the early signs of hot rodding, made its way from Arizona through Virginia and North Carolina to "Big Orange Country" in Tennessee. As fate would have it, the new owner just happened to have a 1951 license plate since he is a lifelong Tennessee Volunteers fan. Rightfully, this superb, frame-off extensively restored "Big Orange" truck should be owned by a Tennessean forever because, like the 1951 National Championship team, it also has bragging rights.
Featured in Classic Trucks Magazine in April of 2006, Orange Destiny has already made a splash in the world of classic cars. This truck would make an excellent addition to a special event, photo shoot, ad campaign or movie production. Just click Get Quote or call (423) 479-5353 today.
