Now, why is it that no one asks about the Pepsi GMC that was given away:^)

Never seen a pic or heard of a PEPSI GMC MH. You know something we'd like to hear about?

Everyone knows about the Coca Cola giveaways, but there were others that are little known. The links below identify 3 others:

I am looking for copies of the Pepsi & Outdoor Life ads from April - June Readers Digest, Outdoor Life & others.

We could probably not identify these coaches today since they were not unique like the Cokes, but looked like standard GMCs.

Bill,

Interesting!

Looks like Outdoor Life and Union Carbide were cheap buggers - they were giving away 23 footers! ;-)

Most likely because Pepsi gave away a regular GMC, while Coke had them built especially to be given away. Also the Coke contest coaches where quite distinctive.
