GMC MOTORHOME COCA COLA EDITION!

Check out this AWESOME promo RV!          The Coca Cola was built in two versions, the "standard" one in Cameo white with a red horizontal stripe the same pattern as other GMC Motorhomes . The second Coca Cola model was the GadAbout, this one had all the bells and whistles. The exterior paint was Cameo white with a sweeping wedge of Coca Cola red up the coach sides blending to a yellow near the top rear of the coach. The "GadAbout" name appeared near the front and a bottle cap shaped spare tire cover was at the rear. Inside, the Coca Cola red upholstery was the same in both coaches. The refrigerator door graphics made it look like a soda vending machine! Other extras were, a "Coca Cola" entry floor mat, clock, mirrored picture, rear table with a "Coke" checker board pattern and on the dash above the glove box was an attractive pewter plaque with a GadAbout motorhome in profile and the slogan," Coke adds life to…cruisin in a GadAbout." Five GadAbouts were given away to five first prize winners of a Coca Cola contest held December 1977. Twenty five second prize winners each received the use of a GMC Motorhome for two weeks along with $3,000 in cash. The GMC records indicate a total of 55 Coca Cola models were built, most in 1977 and a couple in 1978.

70's Style at it's finest!

VERY COOL GMC, MAN!!!
