ELVIS N COKE

[BONOVOX]

Curious as to know what machine is Elvis getting his Coke from? Any ideas?
Saw this on Ebay

Im thinking it's a Cav.51 ?

If so, I wonder if it's mine lol

       The coin box is more centred on the 51, so I'd say this was an early 39.

I've seen this pic before.
To me, the short rounded corners on top & Ice Cold embossed on the bottom give it away - I think C-51

That is a V-80 early all red. I bought my all red on from a lady in GA that said her father had owned it since new and owned a 5 & 10 in Memphis and the machine was in his store.   HMMM you never know......

looked like an 80, but couldn't tell if it had a "handle" or not

[collecture]

It is not a V-80 - there is no delivery chute and again, the rounded corners are all wrong for a V-80, V-81 or V-39. The machine has the short round corners like a Cav-72, V-56 or Cav-51, but the C-51 is the only one of those with "ICE COLD" embossed on the bottom and you can clearly see the lettering below the coin door.

Thats what I was thinking as well... the ICE COLD on the bottom leans me towards the cav.51
As well as the other points of the sharper corners.

Tom you're right I didn't even see the "Ice Cold" at the bottom. It must be a C-51.

C-51 for sure.  The 2 things in life I know a little about are Elvis and C-51s.
