If I'm not mistaken there is only about three known in existence. So if this is indeed a real one, I believe the last one sold for 25K plus.

I think mygoose is thinking of the Kooler grill...you're talking about a C-31? I've seen them actually sell for $800-$2000, depending on condition.

Give Curtis at Memory Lane a ring, he has restored one and has another resto going on right now. He knows the number! I'd say with a full resto they are easily north of $50k

a three door Victor Cooler...... and grill is going for these days?
A little confused here Bea. A Victor 3 door is worth $1K. The Victor Cooler Grill has only 2 doors, and is worth $50K |

Just sharing the information I have at this point. I am told it's a three door cooler with a grill... It's hard for me to tell from the descriptions I've read whether these exist only as a two-door with grill or whether there were some three-door as well. There's not a lot of information out there. Trying to collect my facts before making a drive.

According to literature I have/had, the Kooler Grill was based on two coolers, the C-31 & C-45. One noteworthy feature, the regular coolers have the refrigeration system on the right side, the Kooler Grills' refrigeration is located on the left. Victor Kooler GrillGood Luck ! ! ! |

.........and there have been Victors that enter a restoration shop in Vegas and emerge resembling a Kooler Grill! Absolutely Glen ! ! ! I reviewed pictures of a cooler with welded patch panels on the right side and newly cut rectangular "cut-outs" on the left side! Obviously a conversion in the making ! ! ! |

More information... it is a two door... Does anyone know where the three "known" coolers are? and perhaps who owns them? I wonder whether this one is "known?" Not sure I'll be able to buy it, last time I checked, my bank account was just shy of the gazillion dollars you need to buy one of these.  B. |

There is more than three cooler grills known. Curtis at memory lane has one and restored another. There is one in a collection in Chicago. One was found in Minot, ND in the mid 1990s, there was one in Little Rock, AR about 15-20 years ago at a antique store. And these are just the ones I know or heard about.

Besides the one that resides in Chicago, do we know the locations of the others? Restored or not??

I know of one that was for sale for $20K in the San Francisco area, about 15 years ago.

Bad news...  The photos arrived and it is NOT an authenic Victor Kooler Grill. It has the cooling system on the far right and the "real" ones have the cooling system on the far left. I'd love to see one in person- that seems like a weird design to have the cooling system under the grill area and not under the tubs but I guess it left more room for soda etc on the right side. The hunt continues!  Thanks to everyone who commented. B. |

I'm confused, it has all the other makings of a cooler grill, but just the compressor is in the wrong spot? Um I don't get it?
or is it just a shell and didn't have all the features of the grill?
Confused?
