Coca Cola and Dublin Bus

Csalem

Hi all,
With AX 601 and AX 647 on the streets in an All-Over Ad (or the current equivalent) for Coca Cola, I thought I would put together a collection of buses in Dublin advertising Coca Cola over the years.

Does any of you remeber when coca cola sent the DB coca cola bus to your school and you went to the factory.

The bus even had a coke machine on board similar to the old 7up bus which was fitted with a vending machine.

KD 186 of Cork had that livery in 3 different guises

Looks cool could it be promotion for World Cup though?

don't forget donnybrook's KD353 which also carried the Coca-Cola AOA in the early 1990s.

Just noticed this thread now..

My Dad (Bill) was the driver who would pick up the kids from the schools.
I must show him this thread and see if he remembers!

Three buses have recently received an AOA for Coca Cola. I have so far managed to find two: AV 415 (Ringsend) and AX 587 (Phibsborough).

Cheers. I thought I was doing well when I got two and just needed to get the DBrook one. And then I read that Phibsborough I had a second one. My success rate dropped from 66% to 50%.
