Guys, I don't think the sale of Coca Cola was just limited to the United States...!

After a recent trip to The Coca Cola Museum in Atlanta, I can tell you that Coca Cola claims to be sold in every country in the world except for two.
North Korea and Iran.

Probably I should not insinuate that you in particular are on a personal crusade to drain the US of soda machines. Its just that having grown up in what was once a very strong manufacturing part of the US and witnessed its decline since the 60s, sometimes I feel compelled to say something about exporting what is left here. Be it jobs or whatever. Many of our treasures are being bought and exported to other countries where the economy may be in better shape.Its certainly not Australia in particular which in my opinion is a wonderful country with wonderful people. Not to mention that this web sight is worldwide. Coupled with the latest trend of Flippers/Carpetbaggers crashing into our hobby here, sometimes I feel the need to speak up.I know in my head I should'nt try to push the river, but sometimes my heart takes over. Certainly for lots of guys, they will be happy to make a few bucks and will strap anything to a pallet and send it off. I get it. Money talks. Always has.

I would like to be able to help the Aussies' appriciate "our" pieces of advertising art such as 50's soda machines. I don't have any to sell at the present. However I can't imagine what the cost would be to crate & ship one (or more) to Austraila..!  After all...they did give us INXS

I must admit you guys made some good stuff in the 50s 60 and 70s and they last, like your muscle cars, gas pumps ect. The Ausie love the American products.
The cost to ship anything on a standard plastic pallet is around $400 by sea
Not sure what the cost for transport is in the USA.
