Remember the desirable. and rare "999 Omaha Orange"?

[bluefury361]

Well, the way it is written, it could be interpreted as Vitamin C Orange. Is different than Omaha Orange

The two colors are completely different. You can tell the difference from across a parking lot. Hemi orange, (Dodge only), is also different then Vitamin C, but more subtle

I have the formula for Vitamin C, but not Omaha orange. Maybe someone will have it.....

Yes. One is the Dodge name and one is the Plymouth name for the same color.

Anyone here ever heard of Sunburst Orange? I bought a brand new 79 Plymouth Trail Duster in that color years back...looked awesome! Back then I never paid attention to paint codes so I have no idea what it was. Might have been called Starburst Orange too.. damned memory anyway lol

Tor-red was introduced in 1970.

I bet you 99.9% of the people shopping for a Jeep don't know the historical significance of that color.

I do! It's the color of the Golden Gate Bridge...

Yeah I know. I was talking to Will and asking why he didn't mention Tor Red.

He answered

Tor-red was introduced in 1970.

Oh ... I didn't realize you were speaking exclusively about 69 color availability Will

I used to have a 70 Sat Rag Top that was EV2 Tor Red with a white interior. Very pretty car. I had a wreck in it unfortunately

(there's an o'mage' in that first sentence Stan)

So, what rhymes with 'orange'?

The only two that come to mind is porridge and forage but that's pushing it.

 

[bluefury361]

I was just keeping with the origin of this thread, or the progression of the bright Orange colors offered on cars. Starting with Omaha Orange in 1968, to Vitamin C & Hemi Orange in 69. The progression continued in 70 with Tor-Red and Go-Mango.

Yep that was the color but the these darned computers doesn't do it justice! The original, or should I say, live and in person, was waaaaaaaay brighter!
Thanks!
