Ummmmmmm PHILR!
This isn't a frost free model, is it? Sure looks like it! I'd be all over this one if it was in the upper Midwest.
EDIT - it appears as though the FP-142-58 has the ice dispenser in the door. Regardless, this is still a cool fridge, no pun intended.

OMG! Now that I've officially procured a fridge, the sunny yellow fridges are all coming out of hiding! I love this one!

"I've been told that it works."
I'm betting that translates into, "It doesn't."
Just where is this fridge situated that there's not a 120V outlet within reasonable proximity to plug it in and test it? For the ridiculous asking price of $585, any interested buyer is going to want to know for sure.

I agree, Ralph. Plug it in, does it run, does it get cold? It runs, perhaps - but maybe it's not getting cold. The price is baseless til condition is determined, but as Ben said, this is a cool fridge.

WOW!
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">This is the appliance that made me like Frigidaire appliances so much! And I'm still searching for the Frost-Proof version! </span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">And I wish I had the money to get it even if it's not Frost-Proof...</span></span>
As you can see, the badge is located on the freezer door on the Cold Pantry and on the refrigerator door on the Frost-Proof... And Ben already mentioned the other differences.
Still one of my favorite fridges.
I<span style="font-size: 14pt;"> love</span> that style!

If I could get that, I'd try to find a 1959 Frost-Proof model and combine a few parts to make a clone of my dream fridge!

I want a right hand door...
That is NOT self defrosting!

So even though the subject fridge isn't frost proof, they still employed a fan to move cold air from the evaporator into the fresh food section? I thought that system was only used on frost proof models.
Thanks for pointing out that badge location is the indicator to look for.

Hans, it's a left hinged door but...
This <span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 14pt;">isn't</span> a self-defrosting model... So if you really want it, ask the seller if it really works and go for it (and I think it's not too far from you?!). And if you ever get bored with it, let me know!!
Ralph,
All the Frigidaire bottom-freezer models have a fan in their food section. Instead of having a visible cold plate like the top-freezer Cycla-Matic models, theirs is hidden behind the refrigerator liner.
But otherwise, it's just like any Cycla-Matic.
I'd be very happy if a club member saved this one! The main issue with these fridges could be the cold plate itself. But the one in my 1961 is still fine so...
