Title: Rare Coca-Cola Industrial Carton Cooler Finished Post by: Funtronics on June 30, 2014, 06:50:15 am Just finished restoring this rare Coca-Cola Industrial Carton Cooler. This was a tough cooler to restore because there had to be a lot of parts custom made. Turned out really great. I just wish I would have taken some before pictures. It was a rusted out mess when I bought it.

Is that a customers or for your personal collection?? I have an original one in my showroom at Fun-Tronics, and a customer came in and saw it on my counter and wanted to buy it. I told him it wasn't for sale, but I did have one in the rough in storage that I could restore for him. So we agreed on a price and he made a down payment on it, and here it is finished. So yes it is sold.Title: Re: Rare Coca-Cola Industrial Carton Cooler Finished Post by: Eric on June 30, 2014, 08:47:54 am That really turned out nice Rod... Nice piece of soda history saved...

Title: Re: Rare Coca-Cola Industrial Carton Cooler Finished Post by: MoonDawg on July 01, 2014, 08:26:41 am Thanks for those pic's Rod, I'll probably never see another one again.
Now I'm going to ask the question everybody is wondering about........what is a restored Carton cooler worth? Title: Re: Rare Coca-Cola Industrial Carton Cooler Finished Post by: Funtronics on July 01, 2014, 11:16:21 am Without giving an exact figure so I don't offend the person that I restored it for. Lets just say it's more than $3,500.
Title: Re: Rare Coca-Cola Industrial Carton Cooler Finished Post by: Jared on July 01, 2014, 08:27:09 pm rod i have never seen one how rare are they
Title: Re: Rare Coca-Cola Industrial Carton Cooler Finished Post by: Funtronics on July 02, 2014, 06:27:27 am Not as rare as a Decapper or the Victor Cooler Grill, but if I had to guess i would say there are about 30 of them out there. I know of 8 for sure.
