Title: Another V-39 as a sports 'trophy' Post by: tkaz on September 15, 2014, 12:44:02 pm Just caught this photo today, though I did see they were using Coke 6-packs as the tee markers at the PGA Tour Championship. The winner got a restored V-39, small hat compared to the $11.4 million he just won as well, but still kind of cool. Coke also gave one away to the winner of the NASCAR Coke 600 earlier this year, looks like someone must have a nice contract with Coke to start making these prizes.

About the 39, is it a restored original or reproduction? Title: Re: Another V-39 as a sports 'trophy' Post by: Kilroy on September 15, 2014, 01:19:07 pm Original. As far as I know no one is repopping anything but the Westinghouse style coolers

Title: Re: Another V-39 as a sports 'trophy' Post by: mznb1u on September 15, 2014, 01:34:43 pm Nice restoration. Done correctly and not pinstriped all over. Not that I want Funtronics to lose any sales but I would have left the "coke in hand" decals off of the sides. I wonder if he gets a lifetime supply of cokes to fill it?
They should have a Vendo 63 ready to give out if somebody shoots 9 under! :happydrinkers: :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Another V-39 as a sports 'trophy' Post by: Pixel on September 15, 2014, 01:48:32 pm I propose that the Masters' winner receive a fully restored V81 with the green jacket.
On second thought, a Coke machine would look funny with a green jacket on it. :biggrin: Title: Re: Another V-39 as a sports 'trophy' Post by: mygoose101 on September 15, 2014, 02:02:07 pm I think that's awesome. Can only help our hobby.
Title: Re: Another V-39 as a sports 'trophy' Post by: Funtronics on September 15, 2014, 02:44:21 pm I just wish I had a pair of pants like that to wear to the Chicago show.

Title: Re: Another V-39 as a sports 'trophy' Post by: georgescustompaint on September 15, 2014, 04:04:47 pm I think they had a vendo 44 last year or the year before. It was sitting inside a cool custom wooden showcase. Very Neat.
