it is neat. I believe the underside of the top lids are embossed & by golly it's yellow! It's also big & heavy, I personally would think it's a bit high dollar-wise, but I even though I really like RC cola stuff, have no desire to own such a chest cooler, so I'm not inclined to even think about buying one like it. I rarely get into anything bigger than a 2-door just because of the size of the beasts. PS... if it's wet-chest/water-cooled unit, pass.
so there's my 2 cents worth...

I agree, big and heavy, I do think they are neat and if had the space for one it would be a great porch cooler.. I have a buddy who has one out by his pool in a patio, looks awesome and told him that is where it's staying after we moved it there. I passed on a nice original 7up once like this for 300 a while back, just no room.

I have one (RC) missing the compressor.
Parting out lids, cap catcher and rear grill covers if anyone needs them.

There is one of those sitting in an antiques mall in the Saginaw area. It is a nice looking cooler and as johnie pointed out--it is EMBOSSED everywhere. All that being said, even if you could get beyond the size and weight, I can't imagine what it would cost to do a proper paint job on it. You would have way more into it than it would ever be worth unless you happen to be a sign painter or pin-striper.  Tim |

If you have the space it is a really cool looking cooler. I used to fill one up with beer in a store out in Texas years. Every time I delivered to that store I used to admire the machine. I tried to buy it but I could never get the owner to sell.

It's in the Detroit area Craiglist, so I suppose you could always ask them what the 2nd cooler is.
