1971 PLYMOUTH 340 DUSTER ORANGE CRUSH PROMOTION SHOW CAR Y93 CODE This vehicle was built on the first day of production for the 1971 model year. It was ONE OF FIVE produced on behalf of the Orange Crush Soft Drink Company for A Special Canadian Nationwide Promotion. “Fill in your ballot for your chance to Win” “One of FIVE Orange on Orange” “1971 Plymouth 340 Dusters” These cars were equipped with just about every option available for the 1971 Model Year. This Duster was the 283 one produced for this program with the V.I.N. starting in 279, the last one was V.I.N. 284. Orange Crush hired All-Star Rusty Staub of the Montreal Expo’s as there pitch man. Staub’s nickname in Montreal was “Le Grand Orange” Due to the fact that he had bright reddish orange hair and spoke fluent French! He was a natural fit for this promotion! This vehicle is a minor piece of automotive history. I have never seen another “Orange Crush Duster” let alone any other Duster with an orange interior. **If you have any information; on one of these rare Dusters please let me know! I am trying to find out as much history as possible. email me jonrock@live.ca
