Cooler design that has stood the test of time
When I was looking for new cooler that wasn't all plastic, I was happy to see that Coleman still makes this model that served as our family's workhorse cooler when I was a kid growing up, so I purchased one recently to see if it has stood the test of time, and after using for a few weeks, I would say it has, and would recommend to others. What I like best is the metal clasp, handles, and most importantly, hinges. Insulation is good, with needing to replenish ice about every other day. Drain plug is tight, no leaks. Only regret is that it doesn't come with a tray anymore to keep deli stuff off the ice so that it won't get soggy. Looks like there are some third party options though for a tray or basket that will fit.

Bottle opener missed, but you can clean fish w/it.
Like the cooler, not as good as the older ones. Miss a bottle opener! Hate the aluminum badge on the front that if and when bent can cause serious injuries if not noticed! Good thing I was wearing a jacket/sweatshirt or I would probably had to visit the emergency room and require stitches... Someone will eventually get seriously hurt by this cooler!!! I do like this cooler but for safety reasons the aluminum badge should be removed! But, on the other hand, you can clean fish or gut a deer. Please be aware of this potential hazard!!!

A stylish and sturdy cooler with solid ice retenti
The Vintage 54-Quart Steel Belted Cooler combines classic retro style with reliable performance. Its sturdy steel body and chrome accents give it a nostalgic charm, while the spacious interior holds up to 85 cans—perfect for camping, tailgating, or backyard gatherings. Ice retention is solid, lasting about 2–3 days in moderate conditions. The lid seals tightly, and the built-in drain makes cleanup easy. While it’s heavier than modern plastic coolers and can heat up in the sun, the durable build and standout design make it worth it. If you're looking for a cooler that delivers both function and vintage flair, this one’s a great pick for the price.

Still good after 75 years
Have the original my grandpa purchased in 1950, and it still out preforms a yeti. It's beat up, the plastic has splits, and the latch doesn't hold too well anymore. But it still has good ice after 5 days. The yeti held ice for 2. For 75 years old it still the best cooler I've seen

A great cooler
We have had this cooler for a very long time. The plastic is slightly cracked and it is still a great working, fully functioning cooler. Coleman is a great brand and is very durable and lasting company.

Retro memories
This particular cooler has been in my family since I can remember as a small child. I had to buy my husband one Christmas and we mainly used it in our boat. This cooler has taken a beating in various ways but it's now rusting in the hinges and going off to the big cooler in the sky. Keeps food and drinks cold all day and a few days more with plenty of ice

old school…
Handle on the lid is plastic so may be longevity issues but the steel cooler is great.
