Oh boy, this week we have a real classic that most of us Zonians would remember.  This photo is not take in the Canal Zone, but in Panama City.  Here we have the Coca Cola truck making delivery to the 99 store.  I can remember as a kid growing up in the Zone these trucks on the Canal Zone towns streets selling the cases of Coca Cola.  My mother was avid coke drinker and she or my dad would buy a case or two a week or whenever this truck would come by our house. You could make arrangements like we had with the milkman and leave the empty case in the carport for a quick swap for a full one.  I am not sure how payments were made, but this was convenient for sure.  Can you imagine parking this truck on a street in Panama City making deliveries.  Anyone could help themselves to a bottle or two.

This photo was sent to me by my brother Barry and is part of his collection.  Thank you bro.  This photo brought back some good memories.
