Default Detroit Drag Strip Car called " Orange Crush" ???

Does anyone remember a car that raced the Detroit Drag Strip in the late 60s and 70s by the name " Orange Crush" or "Orange Crate " the car would have been a 30s/40s Ford coupe or Anglia. Looking for the name of the driver/owner who used to have a corvette repair shop in the Detroit area.
Thanks any info is appreciated.

The "Orange Crush" I remember in that general time, was a '55 Chevy. I mostly played in the stock/mod production and dragster arena, so spent very little time with competitors in the gasser to comp car pits.
