Do you guys think this is from back in the day, or just a guy trying to make his machine more marketable.

Since the top has been repainted, it is hard to tell. Did they have sharpies back then?

Also, Its in Phoenix, not exactly the hub of segregation. More of a red flag, not proof for anything.

A drinking fountain was simply in option.  I don't believe they were rare by any means!!

This is a joke. Now we have a poor man's version of the Cavalier 102 but for $5k maybe not exactly too poor. So if I bolt on drinking fountain to the back of a machine would that make it even more rare? Heck, I'll add one to the front also get a sharpie and put Asians, Hispanics, or whatever and charge $10,000. Ridiculous!

Brown vs the board of education was 1954 abolishing seperate but equal doctrine. Anyone know if the machine was produced prior to 54?

i'm so not buying the story.

Wouldn't it be the other way around; "Whites" get the sodas while "Blacks" just the water?
Very suspect indeed!
