Title: A couple of new coolers
Post by: tkaz on November 02, 2013, 03:22:52 pm
I picked up a couple of picnic coolers recently, the Pepsi Progress A2 was listed on CL this morning for $26, I emailed right away and he said the price is now $36.  Still a great price and he was only about 4 miles away.  Still has the sandwich box on the inside with lid.

The Dr Pepper Progress A1 was at an antique shop, didn't get a great deal on it at $150, but it's straight and will display nice.  Even has an original 1985 Bill Elliot bumper sticker on it.  I'd like to think they lugged it out to Charlotte Speedway back in the day for the races.

Never thought I'd start collecting these, but they keep popping up and the prices are great.  Now I have 2 Pepsi A1s, Squirt A1, Dr Pepper A1 and the Pepsi A2...just keeps growing!

Less than $200 into both total is pretty good. I like them!  Not much seems to "pop up" around here. What does usually seems overpriced to me.

Seems like a fair deal to me. Check out the Superior Juniors, they're much harder to come by, and there size makes them very desireable.

Yeah, it's embossed.  I wasn't sure when I went to get it, but was pretty happy when I saw that.

That is great being embossed,  I have several but none like that.  37.00 is a profit????
