1955 Westinghouse Refrigerator commercial

[ken]

Completely frost-free in 55 including freezer. Was this one of the first?
Also neat automatic juice dispenser.

Kind of answered my own question

Just found this Westinghouse fridge commercial from 1951 showing a frost-free model.

Re 55

My Aunt has the same refrigerator in her basement, still running, Her and my Uncle Herbert "Daddys brother" got it new when they were married...still running and the juice despensers have never been hooked up, it does not defrost anymore, I am constantly trying to get it from her!! if I ever do its going in my kitchen...all 500 pounds of it !

that commercial for the juice dispenser fridge...

It looks like Betty borrowed that outfit from a doorman at the Russian Tea Room in NYC. I remember seeing 3 or 4 of those "Juice Fountain" refrigerators but none hooked up to a water supply and working. I thought it was interesting how it mixed concentrate, air and water at the point of delivery. I can see sticky juice dripping on the floor and my mom having a royal fit.

Automatic Beverage Dispenser!

Frigidaire, in the 1970's, had a beverage dispenser that dispensed one of your favorite drinks right through the door--or was it TWO, including WATER?--and dispensed ice, cubed or crushed as well...

Neat idea for its time...
