Here’s a Victor cooler still out in the working world, although it’s chilling beers now instead of Cokes, it even has its countertop  :drinking:  for sale on the Detroit metro Craigslist...I thought it was neat that it’s still plugging away.

I’m busy the day anyone buys it and needs help moving it.  :biggrin:

It’s 8’2” long and won’t even fit in my enclosed trailer. Weighs in at just shy of 800 pounds.

That is awesome. Sad that he's selling it. I would love to walk into a store and see a cooler like that still being used.

Awesome, but as Bob said, it is heavy.  I have one in my basement that I had to hiring a moving company to get from my garage to my basement.  Then I put a 300 lb granite counter-top on it.  I love it as it is a great bar, but lets just say it is going with the house.   :laugh:  Here is a picture of it.
