Challenge #3 - Vintage Chemical & The Philadelphia Belt Line

[Ed Kapuscinski]

I'm shooting for a wide range of time, honestly. Basically, mid 70s through mid 80s.

Those signs will depend on Ed's era.  For instance, if this was for his 12/1985 layout, I think that's around the time that three-liter bottles of Coke were all the rage.

What?  3 liter?  I worked for Pepsi in the late 80’s and obviously was privy to Coke products.
Was this an East Coast thing?
That’s a big danged bottle.

I remember seeing 3 liters in the stores. Think it was mostly off-brand stuff though.

Yeah I remember Shasta having 3 liter bottles in the mid 90's

Oh yeah. If you saw 3 liters of store brand soda in school you KNEW it was party time.

Here you go Ed. Only I don’t see the yellow anti-ramming poles, just the parking curbs. Although maybe a bit too modern for your era (s)

mmmm, big bottle of perpetual flatness.

[Chris333]

lol I always thought Pepsi tasted like flat Coke.

I’ve got a vintage empty 3-liter Coke bottle somewhere around here...

[wazzou]

RE: 3 liters...I never saw any here in the West.

If it was truly vintage, it would be 64 ounces, and glass...

I remember those.  Those were pretty heavy to pick up as a young kid in the early 70's.  I remember one getting dropped in aisle in the supermarket..."Clean up in aisle 9"

I know! I have one in my cart at the moment.

It looks really good. Especially for that price.
