Title: ELVIS N COKE Post by: BONOVOX on February 17, 2012, 06:39:21 pm Curious as to know what machine is Elvis getting his Coke from? Any ideas?
Saw this on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/ELVIS-Presley-PHOTO-Rare-1956-Candid-in-UNSEEN-PRIVATE-Coca-Cola-machine-/110827589757?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19cdd6d07d Im thinking it's a Cav.51 ? If so, I wonder if it's mine lol :happydrinkers: Title: Re: ELVIS N COKE Post by: MoonDawg on February 17, 2012, 06:52:50 pm The coin box is more centred on the 51, so I'd say this was an early 39.

To me, the short rounded corners on top & Ice Cold embossed on the bottom give it away - I think C-51 Title: Re: ELVIS N COKE Post by: Chris on February 17, 2012, 07:37:08 pm That is a V-80 early all red. I bought my all red on from a lady in GA that said her father had owned it since new and owned a 5 & 10 in Memphis and the machine was in his store. HMMM you never know......

Title: Re: ELVIS N COKE Post by: collecture on February 17, 2012, 09:53:50 pm It is not a V-80 - there is no delivery chute and again, the rounded corners are all wrong for a V-80, V-81 or V-39. The machine has the short round corners like a Cav-72, V-56 or Cav-51, but the C-51 is the only one of those with "ICE COLD" embossed on the bottom and you can clearly see the lettering below the coin door.
Title: Re: ELVIS N COKE Post by: BONOVOX on February 18, 2012, 02:46:47 am Thats what I was thinking as well... the ICE COLD on the bottom leans me towards the cav.51
As well as the other points of the sharper corners. Title: Re: ELVIS N COKE Post by: Chris on February 18, 2012, 10:37:05 am Tom you're right I didn't even see the "Ice Cold" at the bottom. It must be a C-51.
Title: Re: ELVIS N COKE Post by: bcharlton on February 18, 2012, 11:05:47 am C-51 for sure. The 2 things in life I know a little about are Elvis and C-51s.
