gday all i was at a customers house on friday. got talking about a couple old cars he had in his yard when we got a bit sidetracked & started talking monaro's as we do.when he hit me up with i had a monaro back in the day as we hear more so often these days.but this guy was in his late 70's & told me purchased a new monaro in the summer january 1969 going on telling me it was a hk gts. then he said wait a minute i still have something from the monaro from back then.so he took off to the shed.by this time i was thinking this guys got something special stored away.and there it is what he tells me at the time of sale was a promotional item given to him by the gmh dealer which was what he called a summer time sizzler special a red mallys esky specially made for holden with the hk gts black stripe in mint unused condition which he said also came with a picnic and rug set which he no longer had.anyway he gave it to me as a gift saying it should go with a monaro.my question is has anyone ever heard this before as i believe the old fella had no reason to make up such a story but i've never heard this before.

I think you will find all the old Malleys Esky's had that stripe on them. I have an orange one sitting here in my pantry. They may have conveniently had a similar stripe to a Monaro which the dealer also noticed and so threw it in as a sweetener to seal the deal I reckon.
I think the stripe was part of the Malleys logo.
Or perhaps Holden stole the stripe from an Esky for their Monaros......

just done a search on ebay and found a gt esky so seems like there may be a bit of a pattern happening here maybe some truth in the story
