Americana the Chopper
BUILT TO HONOR VETERANS
This tribute to 100 years of American/U.S. Veteran history belongs on tour supporting our country's civics education, not in someone's garage.
Custom-designed and custom-built by the stars of the iconic Discovery Channel reality TV show American Chopper (Paul Sr. and the Orange County Choppers crew), this ain’t “just another custom bike.” It’s a breathtaking, jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring, world-class piece of motorized art!
With this once-in-a-lifetime patriotic masterpiece, the internationally recognized brand OCC has provided a history-in-the-making opportunity for SHFV to support its fellow Americans.
THE STORY
We were contacted by the he VP of marketing for OCC who saw our sponsored 2018 Jeep JL that debuted at SEMA Auto Show in partnership with [reality star] Dillon King.
On behalf of an anonymous sponsor, OCC was looking for a charity to build a custom chopper commemorating the 100th anniversary of Veteran’s Day. Of the three charities under consideration, SHF was selected as the honored recipient of this once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece.
THE PROCESS
Over 400 hours of sweat equity went into building this, from concept to design to the final product. Involving hand crafted parts and custom paint job (Josh Allison), original hand engraving (Hank Robinson, Hanro Studios Engraving), all under the hands and supervision of one of the most historic, custom chopper-builders in the world, Paul Sr.
THE LEGACY
An unforgettable tribute of motorized art, to immortalize history in the making of 100 years of Veterans Day. Being the only one of its kind, it represents the hopes of our legacy and the stories of the men and women who helped build America in life after the uniform. Its heritage belongs in a museum for generations to learn from and enjoy.
