Well, here is the pic of my 55 Ideal Coke.
I thought I would put it next to it's sister to give it some company lol.
Now I just have to figure out if I want to have it restored one day, or polish it up best I can and convince the other half to let it sleep in the mancave.

They both look great, would hate to see that original look lost forever with a re-paint.

Add my vote to the "Keep it original" group Ed! My embossed 55 was restored, but it was WAAAAAY worse looking than yours, it needed to be restored. Yours is a sweet looking original. Keep it that way!

I would leave it original also. I've seen one restored before and because it's white, well most of it at least, the machine just doesn't jump at you as a red machine does. Kind of like a restored white door 72.

Thanks guys.... I am leaning towards keeping the Coke original.... but the Squirt needs to be restored I feel. But who knows... once I get a coin mech on it, polish it down, it may stay original too  |
