“So don’t start with a uhaul. Start with a trunk full.”

Back in the 70’s I used to haul sheet metal to Kansas and on the way back fill up with Coors which was unavailable in Tennessee. People thought it was something special for some reason although I never could see why.

My Granddaddy did the same thing back in the 30’s with whiskey. God bless America.

I’d forgotten about how wonderful everyone thought Coors
was then. I worked at the local Chrysler dealership after
school and actually put air shocks on a guys station wagon
that did regular runs to Colorado for Coors.

Way back when Coors was only a beer drinker fantasy in the Northeast our local liquor store bought back from Colorado some Coors Beer. He was selling a six pak for $2.99 (reg beer was six pak was for $.98)

I bought one thinking I had reached Beer Nirvana and was totaled pee'd after cracking one and thinking it was a can of water LOL

Wathena Kansas probably sold more Coors than any town in the state in those years.
I would take the spare tire out of my ‘64 Cutlass 442 to make room for more cases. I think I was able to 26 or 27 cases in the trunk, plus some “lady cans” for the trip home...

We used to get our Coors from the truck driver that delivered steaks to the restaurant I worked at (in Illinois) back during my college days.
