Okay, I'm an old fart and I remember that back in 80 or 81 Orange Crush or Sunkist did sponsor a corvette that was raffled off in some sort of contest. It had an orange exterior but unsure of the interior. Also, it was definitely a 1980 or 1981. I think it was Sunkist that sponsored it. Just googled it and found this.
Don't remember a '76 ever being sponsored by orange crush. I think this is just a custom corvette.

Another picture has turned up in the Showtime International Championship Auto Show book. On page 157 there is a picture with the caption "Abbie Millers Orange Crush is displayed in the Aladdin Hotel ballroom for the Grand Finale. The Car Won the Custom Sweepstakes, the Southwestern Division title, and came in forth in the 1978-79 International Championship. Miller was the first woman to win a Sweepstakes title."

More information about Abbie Miller’s “Orange Crush”
Hello,
I was wondering if by any chance you found more information out about Abbie Miller’s “Orange Crush” Corvette. I recently acquired a vintage racing suit that I believe may have belonged to Abbie Miller. It has multiple corvette patches on it and says “Abbie’s Orange Crush” and also has a drivers patch. I am trying to do some more research on the history of this racing suit and possibly get it back to whom may have her car if I can track it down that far. Any information helps!
Thanks,
-Carter

Orange Crush
This is the racing suit I got, I think those signs are very interesting and would be neat to go together. I was hoping to try and get the suit back to whoever owns the car or restored one just like hers. If not I’d love those signs to go with the suit because it is a really neat piece!

Hi. I am the grandson of Abbie Miller. She has been getting a lot of joy reading the comments in this forum. We are currently looking back at the history of the car and working on tracking it down to see it. She loved seeing the memorabilia you all have. Reach out directly if you would like. Would love to get more information and hear the stories you may have connecting to Abbie or the Crush.
In any case, thanks to all who posted for bringing back decades old memories of this car.
Regards,
Stan Falenski
