I'll answer your question with a question...how much does a '57 car go for?   "depends" ....Chevy. Ford, Desoto, Packard,Edsel. etc. rust bucket? no engine/drive train? straight or has been in a wreck? desirable options? how much 'ya got & how much are you willing to pay? do you really want it, or plan to resell it? fully restored or a "driver"?

see it "depends"!    :;):

Glen is correct. I only know of embossed RC ideal 35's. I sold a cooling generic Ideal 35 for $300. it was missing the rack but a nice restorable machine.

That sounds cool, see I don't know anything about soda machines. I collect progress picnic coolers.  That to me sounds good. If i found one that didn't run, I've got a good friend that repairs refrigeration systems. I do paint and body work, not to scared about dents, dings or rust. But would like it to be complete. Im fixing my shop up like a fifties garage so i don't want anything huge and in the way. Ilike the thirty five and I don't really want coke-cola. (no offence to coke collectors) Is the royal crown hard to find, cause i really like that one. I jus want something that when people see it they trip out.  :cool:
