Vmc 33 rare?

[sodaworks]

I just finished restoring this VMC-33D for a client. I never seen another one like it. It has the SS trim that is identical to the V44. Has anyone else ever seen this trim used on a 33 before?

No, I haven't seen that trim on a 33.
Don't the VMC 27's and 33's have two sets of louvres on the side also? It looks like the one you have pictured only has one on the side.

Terry.. AntiqueVending has a picture on ebay that has the  chrome trim on it, but in a different place...

I have a 27 and it looks like the one Bubba posted.  The trim at the top actually covers a seam where the top section comes off.  I have been told that they were made that way so that the manufactuer could just emboss that small little top section and make the machines for whoever and/or switch the "brand" out a later time.

I have restored at least 30 27's and 33's, most of these had the trim like the one bubba posted a photo of. I have also done a few "one piece" front doors with no trim, but this is the first one I've seen with V44 trim.  '>

Tom,
  All the 27's and 33's I've seen only have one set on each side.

Terry,
This VMC 33 currently on eBay (and most likely will stay on eBay - $2,995.00 unrestored) does not have the chrome trim that the one you restored did, but it does have the same paint scheme with the larger white section. I wonder if this one had the 44 chrome trim at one time.

My mistake - I was thinking of the V56 RT. I looked at my 27A later and realized I was wrong.
