Yellow Pepsi - Lookin' Good

[BrianS]

Trolling Ebay and realized I haven't seen this one showed off on the site yet. Great concept and an awesome looking machine.

Thank you. After being around machines for so many years in all honesty I kind of get tired of seeing the same ol stuff so to speak so the past couple of years I've been trying to think outside the box to keep things fresh and exciting.

This machine was a Pepsi that needed restoration. Rather then redoing it Pepsi blue or turning it into a Coke or a fantasy machine I decided to leave it a Pepsi but went with the yellow version.

Very nice I like the yellow too.

I had been told that Coca Cola painted the Canadian machines yellow.
Is that true?

Great looking machine

Can't say that I've ever seen or heard of a yellow coke machine up here in the Great White North.

        This is a page from Jeff Walters' book.
        I am aware of yellow Canadian Pepsi  chest coolers, but can anyone here confirm that there really was a yellow 27 produced??

Here is a photo that went around the internet a few months ago. It's what inspired me to do mine in yellow. Not only is the one in this photo yellow, it's EMBOSSED!

I can verify that. It was embossed Pepsi:Cola with original yellow paint. I believe that it had an aluminum body which made it more unusual to have the lettering raised. Someone delivered it to Chicago around 1999 or 2000. It went west in Jeff Walters truck.

Ray and I posted at the same time. The one that I saw was in good original condition.

In my opinion, when it comes to NON coke upright machines, the hardest ones to get are:

Pepsi:  VMC 27 embossed
7up:  VMC 88 embossed
RC:  Vmc 110 self serve

Thanks for sharing the picture of the 27.. .anyone know if was ever restored?

On the 27 I posted a picture of, if I remember correctly the guy who's truck it's on found it somewhere and posted the picture on a FB site asking if it was worth keeping, something like that. He wasn't a collector.
