In March of 1998 I was fortunate enough to realize that dream with the purchase of a Cavalier C-72.<br \/><br \/>This machine has Coca~Cola embossed on the front of it and &#8220;Have a Coke&#8221; painted on both sides of the machine. The changer \/ dispensing system and refrigeration unit are fully functional.&nbsp;My C-72 is one of only 2% of the Model 72 that were originally produced with the two-tone red &amp; white color scheme on the front door. (Although many of today&#8217;s refinished &#8220;White Door&#8221; Model 72s are actually repainted with the red &amp; white design.)&nbsp;As you can see from this photo of the interior, this machine has been restored to an amazing condition. The C-72 has 9 racks which can hold 8 bottles of Coke. (Thus maintaining a capacity of 72 bottles, and earning the C-72 model number.) I currently stock my machine with 1 rack each of:&nbsp; Coca~Cola&nbsp; Diet Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, ICB Root Beer, Barcardi Silver. (All available for 10 cents, if you ever happen to stop by).<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image aligncenter uagb-block-2fccbec2 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.darkdan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/c72plate.jpg ,https:\/\/www.darkdan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/c72plate.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.darkdan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/c72plate.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.darkdan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/c72plate.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-3814\" width=\"242\" height=\"152\" title=\"c72plate\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-ec8fa9d275cf5827192636e95eec32c2\"><em><small>The actual serial number plate from my machine<\/small><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-call-to-action uagb-block-154e1613 wp-block-button\"><div class=\"uagb-cta__wrap\"><h3 class=\"uagb-cta__title\">Special Thanks<\/h3><p class=\"uagb-cta__desc\">I purchased my machine from:<br \/>Vintage Soda Collectibles &amp; Machines<br \/>1960 E.
