I saw this cooler at a local BBQ restaurant.  I assume it is fairly new but I love the look of it.  It has a very clean yet somehow a bit retro feel.  Tall but nice and slender for a small footprint! 

First, does anyone know the model?  Second, are these avaialble to purchase or are they Cok Corporation only?  Finally, where / how do I get one?

I've seen them in Red and Brown.  They pop up on eBay from time to time (often as "vintage"), but they are currently manufactured so you should be able to track one down.  Next time you see one, get the info from the tag - that should lead you somewhere.

These are really recent. I haven't scrutinized one yet, but they are very attractive in red.
I'm sure you could find one out there, but you might see if Your local Coca Cola distributor has them. You could purchase it from them for retail or wait till one pops up used.

Picture of the one in the second link has an almost readable pic of the tag

That's a Coca Cola inventory tag. NP though. Thanks for the pic.

Oops

I was talking to one of the Coke salesman at the time when they came out about 3 years ago and he said they were made to display the Coke 7oz aluminum bottles. They make a few flavors now in that package but when I see those coolers out and about they have anything but those 7oz aluminum because of cost so most retailers fill it with quicker moving items. I've seem one in Pepsi also that also looked very cool.

That's the one (but Red).  No model # anywhere?  Looks like it sold for $850.  Not too bad...  I would love to find a black one!!!

Went back and got this picture of the tag:

That appears to be the inventory tag from Coca Cola, up high on the side?
I may be wrong, but what you want is the Mfg tag, which is usually low on the side or back.

I think that the tag on the back was the same.  Model number on there doesnt seem to help much.  I am surprised at how elusive this is being!

I found it.  :happydrinkers:
It's a retro cooler made / distributed by a company called Frigoglass.  They are a Greek company with offices worldwide.
The model is RET-240, as seen on the tag.

Thanks, I see it too.  No info on pricing or whether they sell to individuals that I can find yet.  Also, did you see the cool Pepsi one?

Now is your chance. This eBay listing just came up. $850.00 but will take offers.

Thanks!  Except...  really really want black.

The wait continues. One will turn up eventually.

The Red is nice too but man... I really love the black one.
