Steve Ebner thinks it was made up and if you look at the gasket, there is red paint on the edges. I do see the blue on the side he is trying to hide, in fact alot of blue. This was never used in the ball park. I would say someone took an old 55 and made it into a cart.

Next he will be selling the ONLY Coke Couch used at the bunny ranch in the 50's ya wright!

Nice catch guys!

I just wish there was a REAL way of letting people on Ebay know that it's not all that it's cracked up to be.

"Buyer beware" only goes so far.

I sent him an email pointing out everything as well and no reply. I think everyone should email him pointing out it's a fake or questioning him on every little thing. He might then get the point and realize were not as dumb as he thinks everyone is....just saying!

I also sent a message pointing out the holes in his story. The biggest one is if this cooler is original as he says it isn't from 1950 with the fishtail logo's. And it sure looks blue to me inside of the tank holder.

So how did they get this unwieldy "cooler" up & down the steps...please. it's just a cobbled-up 55, no documentation or even a picture from the era with it present. no dice. It's a nice effort, looks nice, (sort-of) but other than that, it's just undocumented hearsay

Mitch,
Most of this thread is over a year old.
The cooler does have a current listing on eBay, but still no bites on his hook.
