Title: 70s menu board displays
Post by: Eric on March 11, 2017, 01:19:48 pm
Saw these on Craigslist and thought I would share... even though I grew in the 70s, 80s I collect the older 40s, 50s machines and coolers
but the way this person displays and sells these 70s plastic menu boards really brings back memories for me... What a great idea simply
using movies or concerts from the era and prices.. very nice... makes me look at these differently now. These would look
awesome over a little square top machine, 60s/70s slider or newer jukebox.. I like the little plastic snap in logos of the drink brands too..

Agreed. They are cool especially when themed like that. Love the One with "Alien"

Reminds me of the arena that I went to as a kid to learn to skate (Dixie arena, which is now a townhome complex).

They used the Coke sign to provide info to people (public skating times, cost, etc...)

Thanks for sharing and for bringing back some great memories  :smile:
