Great story and history of your families store and cooler. Reminds me of some of my car buddies searching years for their High school rides, some finding them 20 30 years later. I'm betting, if the search continues, you'll run across the one in store. Great story.

If anyone caught the Lambrecht auction a week or two ago in Nebraska covered by the History Channel, a lot of people who had traded their cars with that dealership 30-50 years ago- found their cars at this auction. The dealership had never sold a used car- they parked them in a field until they were sold at the recent auction. The History Channel interviewed a man who was trying to buy his first "dating" car back. LOL!

That is awesome!!! Thanks so much for the links. That machine looks to be a nice original as well.
How neat that there are at least two of these still around!! Is that machine in the USA or in Canada now?

This great story also reminds me of, I think it was a Coke machine at a local Gulf station back in the 80's I think. It also talked when you approached the machine. First time I walked by it started I almost jumped out of my socks.

I'm always amazed that no matter how many machines I see or come across on this site, there is always something new that is really cool. Interesting that Pepsi went with yellow on the cooler, you see that on some of the thermometers and signs, but I can't think of any coolers that are yellow. I like it.

I like it also. The yellow stands out for sure. It's not a machine you see everyday. That's my kind of machine.
