This is an original vintage Sun Drop Citrus Soda glass bottle featuring Dale Earnhardt, celebrating his 1979 NASCAR Rookie of the Year season. The bottle is part of a Sun Drop promotional racing series and displays a stylized portrait of Earnhardt with a printed signature graphic and “1979 Rookie of the Year” text on the reverse label.
The bottle remains factory sealed and unopened, retaining its original metal cap and contents. Sun Drop racing bottles were produced as regional promotional items, primarily distributed in the Southeast, and were not intended for long-term preservation. Unopened examples featuring Dale Earnhardt are especially desirable due to his legendary status in NASCAR.
The green glass bottle shows standard Sun Drop branding on the front and the Dale Earnhardt racing graphic on the back. Surface wear, light scuffing, and minor label aging are consistent with storage and age. The contents remain inside but are not intended for consumption and are sold strictly as a collectible.
This piece is ideal for NASCAR memorabilia collectors, Dale Earnhardt fans, soda advertising collectors, or vintage motorsports displays.
