It is a Vendolator 56 , It was Dr Pepper Green, the Marquee has been changed probably when it was painted white.
 would look great Green again.

Welcome to SMC!  You will find the people on this site to be very helpful with any questions that you may have.

Nice looking 56--that refers to how many of the old 6.5 to 10 oz bottles it can hold.  7 shelves with 8 bottles each.  It may hold one less on each shelf with 12 oz bottles.

Here is a bit more information about your machine:

It is possible that the machine started out as DP green and got repainted at some point.  Those are great machines for everyday use!

Next thing you need to do is make the trip over to Dublin, TX and pick up some 10, 2 & 4 Dp's for that thing.  good luck with it.
