Here’s a Victor cooler still out in the working world, although it’s chilling beers now instead of Cokes, it even has its countertop  drinking  for sale on the Detroit metro Craigslist...I thought it was neat that it’s still plugging away.

I’m busy the day anyone buys it and needs help moving it.  biggrin

It’s 8’2” long and won’t even fit in my enclosed trailer. Weighs in at just shy of 800 pounds.

That is awesome. Sad that he's selling it. I would love to walk into a store and see a cooler like that still being used.

Awesome, but as Bob said, it is heavy.  I have one in my basement that I had to hiring a moving company to get from my garage to my basement.  Then I put a 300 lb granite counter-top on it.  I love it as it is a great bar, but lets just say it is going with the house.   laugh  Here is a picture of it.
