Title: My 81 Lineup
Post by: coke_and_stuff on January 18, 2010, 07:00:20 pm
First Off I would like to Thank Eric for working with me and allowing the chance to get back my Pepsi 81. I have room for one more 81 on this wall. I met up with Eric, Marvin and several other people at the Columbia, MO It's a Gas show this past weekend. Another buddy let me get ahold of this Very nice very near mint 6ft LION on Mound sign. I picked up a few other goodies nothing to great to speak of though.

Nice line-up Joey...still working on mine!

Very nice line up. I am trying to accomplish the same thing, but I am doing it with the 81's bigger bother, the 110. I have an Royal Crown, Pepsi Cola, and a Coca-Cola self serve 110 now and I am keeping an eye out for others to add my collection.

But I have to admit, it isn't as nice as your collection of 81s. I especially like the Pepsi 81.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Also, Congrats on the Lion sign.

What the heck!  I am just over an hour away from Columbia, MO...why didn't I know about this show....just sat around all weekend with me and the dog staring at each other...would have gladly made the drive just to look around and drool.

Need a place on the forums to announce upcoming shows such as this one.

Looks great Joey!
I'm assuming the Pepsi 81 is next on the block for restoration... going all blue or two toned?

Very nice Joey ! ! !
 :happydrinkers:  :happydrinkers:
About 15 yrs ago, a good friend of mine had finally compiled a good collection of 81's: Coke 81a, b, and a large door; Pepsi 81; (2) RC 81's; 7-Up 81; and an original Dr. Pepper 81(generic).

Yes the Pepsi is in line for restoration, It will be painted back to original solid blue. Ive got room for one more on the lineup and another on another wall. so a RC and 7up would be nice!!!
