Has anyone seen a Sprite machine.....all green with some white?

I saw one and I think it was a Cavalier.

I've collected Coca-Cola and soda in general for nearly 40 years. I haven't seen one yet. That doesn't mean that one was never made. Sprite came out in the early 60s. Back then, it was sold as a secondary flavor in dedicated Coke machines. Now that I think of it, a Sprite machine would be cool to own. So would TaB or Fresca done up 60s style.
The Schmidt museum never had one either.

Well, there is one in my brothers garage man-cave across the street in very nice cosmetic condition.  I think
it works too. He also found, separately, a matching enameled metal sign. I guess I'll have to get some pics.

I just talked to my brother (he's not at home) and he said it's a Cavalier 51 and it is full of cold Sprite.

It's in a dark spot but near a door and he promised to move it outside tomorrow to take some pics.

If it's a cavalier 51 its a original Coca Cola machine that has been rebranded into a Sprite machine.

You're right. That's what it turned out to be.

Regardless, it looks nice. But the "cold" Sprite is SOLD OUT!

It did have a few in it but he was pulling them out when I got there. I only see 6 left.
