The story behind the motif
Until December 31, 1952, cola drinks were banned in Sweden because they contained phosphoric acid and caffeine. But the law was changed and on June 29, 1953, the first trucks were loaded with Coca-Cola for Swedish consumers, at which time a bottle cost 34 öre.
In the picture we see a Coca-Cola car parked at Södra Blasieholmshamnen by Strömkajen with Stockholm Castle as a beautiful background. These cars unloaded Coca-Cola bottles to the Tre Kronor mineral water factory in Sundbyberg.
The custom-built truck that drops off the bottles is a model Volvo L34 - which was part of Coca-Cola's marketing. A marketing that was at the forefront in the meantime when it came to advertising messages on the cars.
