I picked up these three coolers at an auction a couple years ago for $1.00 each. I also picked up the bug roof rack for a whopping 50¢.

Here's three of mine.
I usually use these as tool boxes in my cars than for coolers.

You did put those Porsche decals on yourself right? 
I've got one of those red Colemans too - currently, its being used for parts storage. I stopped using it because I decided that it was too big for a bug. But I used to bring it with me on road trips. You can see it in my back seat here:

I've always been a fan of the pleasure chest. i collected coke stuff growing up so the coke chests don't really do much for me, but i've been looking for a Lone Star beer cooler. you can find em every once in a while on ebay, and when you do, it's pretty magical. wish i had a pic.

Here's the only one I currently have. Used to have a 7up cooler but it blew off the buss in a nasty rain storm. Never found it.

There are a lot of cool coolers but it's got to be a coke cooler for me. These are both the small 6 pack size and they are not the repros. The one on the left is the stainless steel version which is the rarest of the rare.
