SAS Galley Cart: Ready for service

And the Pan Am tumblers are a very nice touch. Are they vintage as well?

SAS Galley Cart: Ready for service by Telstar Logistics.
This is a 1970s-vintage galley cart from SAS airlines; when I found it at an aircraft scrapyard, it looked like this.

I cleaned it up at a self-serve car wash, then built some interior shelves out of acrylic plastic. The cart opens on both sides; this side holds the booze, mixers, and bags of pretzels; the back side holds glasses and barware. When not in use, everything stows neatly inside.

Needless to say, next time you see someone scooping up piles of napkins and bags of peanuts during your next flight, it may be me, trying to re-stock my cart. Flight attendants are usually pretty indulgent when I explain that I use a galley cart as a bar in my living room.

This is a fantastic idea and perfectly executed. I'm quite jealous too. With this cart in your living room, who needs to fly? :)

Yep, most of the glasses and bar tools are vintage. (Pan Am, Eastern, old United). The plastic cups were donated by kind-hearted flight attendants... the ones in this photo are from Northwest.

Well, do let us all know when you're having your housewarming party. ;-) I've got a few packets of peanuts from JAL, etc, that aren't getting any younger...

Hi, I just started a new group called What's in your liquor cabinet?, as I thought it would be fun to see how others have stocked their bars. This photo would make a great addition.

I have a few galley carts and was wondering what they are worth. The ones I have are the shorter version as in not as long but the same width and height and are blue. Mine came from the Canadair Regional Jets Galley. Possible to sell one if the price is right.

I love these carts. I personally have several of them. One is my Single Malt bar in my living room and one is in my garage with all the car wash supplies in it. Go to www.alcarts.com to check them out.
