Title: Barq's machines picked up from texas trip Post by: on March 21, 2005, 12:38:05 pm I finally got around to getting some pictures taken from my trip in Texas. I picked up a double logo Barq's quikold 3000 for a friend of mine. I picked up two ideal 55s and a Barq's embossed Quikold 2000. Here are some of the pictures. This picture is the Quikold 2000. The front pieces are on the inside. It also had the original tag on it from when it was made in 1959.

Barq's ideals came in two different logo styles, some had white lettering for Drink and It's Good. Some had it in a reddish orange to go along with the advertising signs of that time.

Are these to restore or clean up and leave alone. I'm in the middle of restoring machines now all are Coke... But can't wait to get to my 7up Junior.... It's becoming my favorite. Congrats on the 2 scores! Title: Barq's machines picked up from texas trip Post by: on March 21, 2005, 01:00:23 pm Here is the other ideal 55, need a paint job do doubt, couldn't leave it behind. It even has wheels on it.
Title: Barq's machines picked up from texas trip Post by: on March 21, 2005, 01:02:08 pm The two ideals will definately have to be restored, it will just take time find out where to find parts, I've got someone who can paint them in New Orleans..

These machines were only in Blue but someone showed me a red one in a book that's wrong.
