Here is a Vendo advertising video from the 60's. Shows some factory stuff and square Machines plus a quick shot of a 44 if you don't blink. Some Coca Cola sales men giving examples on how to sell to store owners.

Thanks for the post. Vendo must have paid fairly well. Buicks and Pontiacs rolling out of the employee lot.

Very cool

You see some interesting work practices from back then:
- workers lifting heavy metal
- painting without mask!!!
- installing insulation without gloves

Way cool. I liked the guy painting the machines. Did you notice that he had no mask on, and did you see the flow of paint on that paint gun. Also the guys putting the insulation in had no gloves or mask on. That was some nasty insulation back then. Very neat to watch.
Thanks for sharing.

Ha... wow with that paint gun it looked like he was hosing the machine down... Love the acting... everyone seemed tense/nervous...
would be fun to make one in that style in restoring a machine.

That is a cool video...I'd love to have some of the concept drawings of some of the machines, framed up they would be pretty cool!  I bet those guys just threw all that stuff out, not thinking it'd be worth something in 50 years

Great video.  I actually watched the whole thing.

Pretty cool video.  It's apparent the ad agency they used isn't quite up to today's standards (kinda repetitive at times).

I especially liked seeing the Ford World Heaquarters building I work in at the 1:21 point in the video (still looks the same).

At first I was about to skip ahead when I seen how long it was. I couldn't help myself and watched the whole thing. Good find.
