why didn't these catch on
We lived in a 1955 ranch when I was growing up and we had the fridge in pink, even had the glass storage sliders on the bottom. It was a cool concept and as I recall easy to access. I don't recall my mother ever complaining that it was too big or too small or difficult to get things in or out. I've always wondered why the concept didn't survive. Not cost effective? I agree with the above comment that it looks like it's out of service due to the free standing model in the background. Would it be impossible to get replacement parts today?
