Guys is this custom painted, or was this original to the machine in that era?

They were designed, like the ad says, by Peter Max in the late 60's...the signs alone are worth some cash, I was watching one on Ebay a couple of months ago and it ended up going for close to $300 (sign only!)

It appears to be real. And yes, 7 Up hired Max to design ads.

I seem to remember they (7Up) also featured Peter Max's style in a few TV commercials, with a very Beatles "yellow submarine" cartoon look & feel...I also think maybe Nesbitts Orange did a few spot in the same genre.

They also made the Pam style thermometers in that style.

I've been looking for one of those signs for a while. I have one that is trashed and wanted to replace it; love the hippie style of it.
