1954 Kelvinator Magic Cycle Refrigerator - $450 (Florissant, MO)

This one looks nice. If you could find one facing the other direction, you could have a pretend Foodarama!

"Original owner selling this fabulous vintage refrigerator! It has been working like a champ nonstop since it was purchased new. Still works perfectly, right down to the automatic defrost function."

Now that 1954 Kelvinator refrigerator is in immaculate condition! Even the gaskets look to be clean and intact. This would sure be a nice score for whoever gets it. I hope it goes to someone that will continue to take good care of it. And please, lets hope the new owner doesn’t paint it some crazy color and destory it’s beautiful vintage conditon, that would be tragic.

I agree that it's almost worth the asking price based on condition, but judging from picture #4 I'm not so sure the "automatic defrost" function works so well.  Or is this one of those bogus claims like with the frosts-freely GE Combinations that only applies to the coils in fresh food section?

I hope that the Magic Cycle in the Refrigerator was not vigorous as the Magic Minute in their automatic washer. I wonder if the automatic surface unit or the speed heat surface unit was called "Magic" something or other. They had a gimmick and they were running with it.
