1930s Metalcraft Light Up Coca Cola Delivery Truck Restoration

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ย. 2020
- I purchased this 1930s Metalcraft Light Up Coca Cola Delivery Pressed Steel truck on eBay August of 2020. It was in great shape for its age outside of much wear and tear. The headlights would not work and the tires were extremely cracked. I've been looking for this truck for quite a while and was really excited to add it to my collection. Coca-Cola.

I’m surprised that the bottles still exist, but making the bottle caps was bloody brilliant!
It floored me when you filled each individual bottle with classic coke. Not only was that a classy rebuild but a more than real extra step. Nice Job!
@@EXCEDRIN10 And no one said that the restoration is for sale. It is clear that the author is restoring for himself, for his collection. Each video as a masterpiece
@@EXCEDRIN10 You might be wrong on this.
Tbh I don't think it will decrease the value, it might even add to it.
the fact that all of those bottles are still intact is truly amazing!
There is a spiritual peace and wake up call coming from your videos: what a joy to see somebody taking care of restoring nice toys from the past.
Spiritual ?
When you compare the scale of the bottles to the scale of the rest of the car, it looks like as if an entire family could drink every day for a whole week from one single bottle. And I love the new bottle caps. Nice job, Chip Channel Restorations!
forget 64 oz... here's 64 liters!

I love the way. He plays with them by hitching to a tow truck😊
It looks like the lead paint did wonders preserving the metal parts. No pitting and minimal rust (except for the front grill). The polished wheels look amazing. And the bottle cap fabrication! Is there anything you cannot do for your restorations including filling the bottles with REAL Coke? INCREDIBLE job! One of your VERY BEST considering all the effort you put in to it. Beaker agrees.
Amazing work! The sheep and the cat are something else, give a nice touch to the experience!
Классная машинка и супер работа мастера по восстановлению! Браво! 👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹
I love the fact you filled the mini Coke bottles with real Coke instead of colored water. That made this restoration all the more special. Great job!!!
Most impressive! You even put the “real thing”in the bottles. OMG! Fabulous,- I love it!
@EXPERIMENT TJK ggnbnnnjnnhjkkkkkjjyyuujjjmmmmm
.hhmnjhj un bnnnn. As,
But that has high fructose corn syrup, not sugar
Your resto work as always is phenomenal…but the best thing that other resto channel can learn from you is showing the lead test as you do consistently so your subscribers who want to try this at home will learn to be more safety conscious! Thanks for all the history you have saved !
Way more successful than their competitor's - “Every Bottle Shook out Real GOOD over the Sink!”
Incredible workmanship Chip. I really like the sheep in your toys.
Do you think when Chip started his journey as a toy restorer, he ever thought he'd find himself hand making 10 miniature bottle caps?

I appreciate the misfit/broken toy vibe from classic Christmas town.
Toys getting fixed up to bring joy to kids, of all ages, again.
That trick with the bottle caps. 😲
OH MY GRANNIES !!!! I LUV THAT TRUCK. I'm 71 yrs. old and I have a Coke cola room . I have NEVER seen anything so perfect. The way you redid the truck was AMAZING. I will be looking for old Coke trucks. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents. Ms. Dusty Houston TX

Honored Beaker's request and subscribed - this was a masterpiece! Love seeing old toys come back to life!
Pressing the blank bottle cap disks into a 12pt socket......Ingenious!!!!
To be this old it’s really not in that bad of shape. Outstanding restoration! Beaker is so cute. ❤️
Yeah this one is more of a survivor. I wonder if a cleaning and minor touch up might have been the better course.
Had lead paint though. Better to do a complete restoration I think
I remember those miniature coca-cola bottles. In the 1970’s, when I was a kid and collected antique and collectible miniatures, I had one but I didn’t know it was for this truck.
The ones for this truck are huge compared to the case of miniature bottles of Coke my grandmother had. The original original formula too. She would allow each of her grandchildren to have one bottle when they came to spend the weekend. She told me she saved that case so that she could let her grandchildren know what the original Coke tasted like. The memory has faded much (I'm 65 now), but as I recall it, no Coke formula since then has the same taste. For those who don't know, I'm talking about the original formula that used Cocaine instead of caffeine. The bottles were about 1/5 the size of the bottles on this truck.
@@asarand cocaine was removed from Coca Cola in 1929 so you were not tasting Coca Cola with cocaine unless you were drinking some VERY old stale soda! The difference in the original flavor and the recipe today is the pure cane sugar. Coke today does not taste as good as the original since they started replacing cane sugar with high fructose corn syrup in 1984. I’m sure that is what you remember about that original Coca Cola you drank as a boy.
@@asarand Every year, in springtime, there is kosher for Passover coke sold. It has real sugar. The bottles have yellow caps.
@@chappy675 You just couldn't leave the old guys Grandmother memories alone. Now she's a liar and he's a dummy. But that's ok as long you feel smart.
@@janbaer3241 Also, Mexican Coke uses cane sugar. Hawaiian Coke used to use it until the last sugar plantation in Hawaii closed.
The sheep gag is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
Love the little, "I'm Okay!" lmao
True, but I was a little disappointed when he didn't scrape the sheep off the road with a shovel then put it in a frying pan to cook it up.
Ase poco que enpese aver este canal. Me gusta be los carritos fregados que los arreglan como nuebos🆗🐰💐🤔🚙🚚🚛🚞🆒🚒💖♥️❤️chip channel😁🚙so🆒
I could sit and watch this all day
Is there anything you can't do? Everything you have done to date, you kill it. I tip my hat to you good sir. Thank you for posting videos on TH-cam worth watching.
Oh my gosh, the bottle caps! That was brilliant! Thank you so much for posting, you always do such a great job. Take care - stay healthy!
Do they lose their value being restored so much ,its a shame prefer to see the life they had ...the years tell a story..
@@susangilbert4512 Two schools of thought - restore to new or all original. I like seeing them restored to as-new, a rusty, scratched toy is good for nothing but sitting on a shelf gathering dust and having old people look at it. Seeing them restored like this, look great on a shelf or better still, good for another 100 years of play 🙂
Were do you find all the old toys
Браво! У Вас золотые руки. 👍
I want that! My mom was a collector of Coke collectibles, I got the collection after she passed. And I still add to it. Things that I think she would of wanted for the collection.
Wow. The catspector's first appearance? Nice!
That is so cute. You did a fantastic job on that. The tops came out fantastic. I once saw a little wooden crate with all 12 bottles and they were still full at a collectibles shop. I'm so sorry that I never bought it, it was a bit pricey for me. I love anything and everything that is miniature.
The bottle tops. Stroke of genius...
true brow
@@carlporter461 Stfu
Arent the bottle caps supposed to be red though?
@@Soybean493 Yea...
@@g4k1ranger яіччцчіФ
It amazes me with how old some of these toys are and after these restorations they will last another 100 years.
The cat playing with it at the end was so cute.
Even modern toy cars miss having headlights.
This was nothing short of artwork and artistry. Incredibly beautiful.
I liked the movement of the Coca-Cola glass, I expected it to be empty.!🎉😂👌
Hey chip. This is sledgemaster. Your show is the last show I'm watching tonight. Can not wait to see what kind of job your going to to do next. Good night and god bless you and ur family.
Chip, That was a masterpiece! The level of detail is stupendous. I am impressed!
I can't believe how brilliant the handmade bottle caps are. You are amazing!
Wonderful. My dad bought me red truck as a child being a girl but I loved it, the kindergarten got it.
Tolle Arbeit,. erstmal die Deckel für die Flaschen Herstellung und am Schluss die Flaschen mit Cola gefüllt
And of course, the final
inspection by beaker. This one is her favorite.
Absolutely incredible! You have a great eye for detail, wonderful supply of stock, a lot of good tools and the passion to bring it all together! Very skilled and detail oriented! Splendid work!
Wow, that authentic period EverReady battery, I only remember them being blue, sometimes black, but never white!
My mom would have loved this. She collected coke stuff. I wish she was still here so I could show her this video. You did a beautiful job. She would have been delighted with it.
Oh God that poor sheep!!!
She is OK :)
Those sheep are soooo mistreated! LOL!
Cute
Need to make a little bottle cap opener to go with the tiny bottles!
Amazing that all the bottles were there.
Восторг! Не нахожу слов, чтобы выразить своё восхищение уровню мастерства!
Wow, those batteries brought back memories.
What do you mean?
@@KALEN_UTTP People used that size battery much more often when I was a child. Also, they look pretty much as they did in the 1960's.
Oh
The expiration date was August 1950! O.o
Is that a rare Coca Cola artifact? Gotta be a collector item
Every Coca Cola item is a collector's item. 😆
@@EXCEDRIN10 Actually no. This mans restoration and techniques are done so well, he definitely increased the value. You will never find one in brand new unoxidized condition. I can GUARANTEE you, this truck would easily sell for $500-$1000. In the condition he had it before, maybe $100. Original is cool and wanted, but this mans skill is so good and close to the original using genuine handmade parts, that it doesn't matter that it's been restored, because it's authentic.
@@EXCEDRIN10 that's not what you said. You said he ruined the value to a real. Coca Cola collector. You said nothing of other markets....stfu with your lies....your own words are literally in your face and you lie. Lmao
Didn’t intend to cause such a feud with the comment…he is an absolute artist and a cool dude! Enjoy the show 😎
😂!!! Live and learn friend.
The way you kept its originality and perfection. Hats off to you.
I have never seen this model of Metalcraft Truck with lights and batteries, I found the other models without lights...
Excellent work friend...
Imagine if you got a Coca-Cola sponsorship from this video
Well if he isn't sponsored by coke, he's gonna get sponsors from his sheep.
Coke probably doesn’t care, if people don’t drink coffee, or tea then they most likely drink coke.
Sponsor-sheep!
I think this is my favorite restoration. I love Coke vintage things. Glad the sheep is ok.
I would like toys like these to be made again. That was my dream. To make toys like these .
Since I found your TH-cam Channel I’ve been watching and liking every one. I watch it on TV so I don’t comment. Thank you so much for posting these.
All your work is gorgeous but this may be the best to date! Just out standing! Beaker is fantastically cute! Just beautiful work!
You truly are a master at restoration! Your showmanship when you start a piece to the finishing product are truly amazing ! keep up the great work👍🏼🤩
Wow. Batteries from 1970. memories. LOL
I love all the tow trucks that you use, being a former tow operator it's cool to see, and I did see what looked like a white dodge tow truck just waiting to be done in the first few seconds of the video during and after the tow truck picked up the coke truck, and I also noticed another coke truck
I think Beaker could actually smell the Coke. Beautiful restoration.
Cat nip or treat under the toy I bet
Thank you Chip for your fine videos and I couldn't help but wonder how many of our fore fathers died because of lead poisoning and their ignorance of it back then.Be safe and keep up with your awesome vids.
I love watching the spraying of the powder paint and then watching it bake on fast forward and turning real shiny! Of course the sand blasting is my favorite!
This has got to be the best of all you've restored because you did a spectacular job, I love Coke, and the bottles are real glass. I would have painted the bottle caps red. I also love any type of VW buses, campers, and vans and would love to see you restore some of them. Your junk yard and parking lot are fabulous! 👌
Didn't think you were gonna get to this one Chip! Outstanding job, as usual!👍 Original bottles?? That bottle cap fab was pure genius!
That ended up beautiful even Beaker thought it looked beautiful too.
For being 90 years old this truck was still in amzingly good condition ! But you brought it back to mint !!
The Beaker seal of approval!
I'm old enough to have seen these trucks, my favorite restoration so far'
Wow! I really love this, so beautifully restored. The little Coco-cola bottles add touch to the truck. Its brilliant idea to insert the real coca-cola drinks inside those bottles! I love the light-bulb headlights as well! Good Job, thank you for sharing it here. From: Singapore. :)
Dang Chip! This has to be one of your best resto's. What a cool toy!!!
So cool think the last person who durned those pins were the person who put it together new. Now it’s you, making it new again.
Beautiful restoration! Well done!
Buen video 👍👍👍 esperando las siguientes restauraciones
It's amazing that it had all the bottles. With most children, they would have been removed and lost.
Just a perfect job. You treat all restored parts with care and skill. Really amazing!!!
You filled the bottles with actual Coke? Now you can say, "It's the real thing."
(Old ad.)
But I did not see him sterilize the bottles
Ity
aAq
I would’ve used maple syrup instead but then I wouldn’t have over restored the truck in the first place
ahahahahahahah
Man thats the Best restoration Ive seen in a while congrats hello's from mexico
The cat checking if everything was ok whith the toy, was so funny 😅😅
It's amazing that you found a Coca Cola truck with the bottles. I'm glad someone finally took apart the grill assembly. Too many don't know it comes apart. Beautiful job.
Adorei as tampinhas😉...em todos detalhes seu trabalho é maravilhoso 👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😍
definitely one of my favorite restorations! amazing!
If that isnt the cutest little truck on earth!
I love ur coke truck. The coke formula is different then what it was long time ago. Then it was made with real coke
You restore these so beautifully. Subscribed.
You never cease to amaze me with your beautiful and creative restorations. I truly like watching them, and can only wish that I had a place and equipment to do the same. Keep up the Great Work!
Great bottle cap TY and like polishing wheel hubs instead of painting
Again, this is why you are among the best restorers
Love your assistant and final inspector.
This is among your best.
Beaker sure likes the Coca Cola truck!
Lovely cat
She's a sweetheart. Always has to be involved in anything I'm doing. Thanks for watching!
Aside from the beautiful restoration.
It's the bottle caps that impressed me the most.
Would have used color water instead of the "real thing" just to make it look darker.
Same here. Fabricating bottle caps was not something I expected from this video. And, while I appreciate the authenticity of using real Cocoa Cola, I would also have used caramel colored dye in some water.
@@andrewolson5471 Where does one get caramel colored dye? I think it was easier to use Coke.
@@gregr3720 I'm sure caramel food coloring is available from almost anywhere that sells baking ingredients.
@@andrewolson5471 okay.
Beaker is a beautiful baby!
Lovely touch filling the bottles, so unexpected, I was thinking it is amazing the bottles all survived til now? Another amazing restoration! Far better than others I have seen!!
For how old that truck is it's still in pretty good shape, ever before restoration.
That is what I thought as well! Even the old Ever Ready batteries were in decent condition… not that they would ever work, but they looked pretty good for being so bloody old!
I would so love to have that in my Coke collection 😍
Вот что значит ЗОЛОТЫЕ РУКИ!!!Если бы я начала разбирать,то реставрировать было бы нечего
A real gem Chip Channel Restorations! And there's some wealthy family that will buy that 1930's resto, no doubt. After all, that's what a marketplace is for. First-rate video.
Beaker is too precious! Loved the way she gave your coke truck a going over. Just wondering, after filling the coke bottles, did you toss the rest of the Coke or did you toss some ice and rum in and enjoy it? I have to admit that admired the way you made the bottle caps. Another great restoration!
gorgeous resto , although i would have filled the bottles with coloured resin as the colour in the coke will settle out or it'll evaporate past the caps
Yeah, I thought the same thing. On the other hand, you can easily clean the bottles and refill them if the coke starts looking wonky, while resin probably couldn't be removed without destroying the bottles.
This is better than those people who take new toy cars made from metals that do not rust, and make them look "abandoned."
Wow - steady hand making the bottle caps. Impressive.
