Car show in London Ontario --- we won a trophy
We entered the 28 Pepsi AA in the London , Ontario , Canada car show this weekend and recieved the Promoters Choice Award Trophy . The Promoter of the event placed the Pepsi truck at the entrance of the show gates as they were impressed by the colour scheme .. She is an eye catcher . This is her first car show event and her first trophy .

Is that a Fulton Easy Start or something of the like by the steering column and starter? Nice looking truck none the less. Congrats.

Re: Car show in London Ontario --- we won a trophy
It's a sparky kit --- use the timing advance lever to start the truck .. works great and allot easier to use ( P.S. the distributor is electronic and does not require the timing advance rod to be hooked up . I use it to start the engine insteadReds34 wrote:Is that a Fulton Easy Start or something of the like by the steering column and starter? Nice looking truck none the less. Congrats.

Looking great Harry! You can tell it's a runner because there's a catch pan.

They don't leak, they mark their territory.

Re: Car show in London Ontario --- we won a trophy
Beautiful truck. I thought you might find the attached picture of interest - its a 1928 AA I saw at the American Truck Historical Soc. meeting quite awhile ago, probably 20 years at this point. It has a bottlers body on it, but from Pepsi's arch rival Coca Cola. I had thought the yellow bodies were a Coke trademark, but maybe the yellow was a bottlers color rather than the producer.
I wonder where the truck is now?

Re: Car show in London Ontario --- we won a trophy
Awesome Picture ... Our truck was painted the same color she was in 28 .The son of the family that owned the franchise back them remebered the colour . I think back then there realy was no absolute color to paint things as the Pepsi and Coke places were franchises back then .. now a days Pepsi is Blue and coke is Red ... Either way it's a Cool picture -- I will sent it off to my boss at Pepsi -- thanks for sharingRosenkranswa wrote:Beautiful truck.

Those look like pretty big tires on the front of that Coke truck. Maybe not though.
