Hi GP,
I think it is a VMC. Interesting that the coke sign is raised. Wonder what is under that.
With any luck here is the link:

If you look close, the coke sign is screwed on , or riveted. I would think if it was a generic model, they could have laid down a new decal.
My luck it's a 7up or RC, ah. to dream, now if I can hit the lottery to make a run on it

       The 7up logo would be much taller, this sign wouldn't cover it.
Same for the RC letters. And we know it's not Coke cause of the VMC
dimple just barely visible in the first picture, and the VMC coin entry & bottle door.
       That narrows it down to Dr.Pepper/ generic or Pepsi. Looking at the third
picture, the door linner has a hole in it and some insulation missing, looks
to be exposing the original color.

       Thanks for sharing Ginger.

Nice catch Glenn.. If it is a Pepsi, the sign doesn't like it would cover the embossing either... Look at the pic in the header of this site.. the "P" extends almost to the 2nd bottle gate. The sign doesn't come down that far on the auction...

Third and fourth photos reveal blue paint...
The third image is an excellent reference for matching the blue as this is the round corner re-enforcement brace. You can see this due to the hole in the liner. The bolt head on the hinge has also revealed some blue paint.
This still doesn't explain the raised Coca-Cola plate possibly not being large enough to conceal the Pepsi logo... Perhaps it's just large enough...
