A rare and beautiful fridge. I wonder if it ever had crispers.
I associate Gibson with game shows of the 60's and 70's. I don't ever remember seeing them for sale in stores.

My parents bought one new in '81. It was a great fridge, it probably would still be there today if it hadn't needed a recharge.
Got a 1940 Gibson 'fridge in the garage.
Dave AMKrayoGuy's Visions of Gibsons:
One friend who used to live by me had a Gisbon SOVEREIGN Frost Clear (the Greenville Michigan brand's Top Of The Line model) harvest gold top freezer fridge in his basement and a TOL Kelvinator washer in avocado green!
(The rest of the appliances, actually used in the kitchen & laundry, were a General Electric top freezer fridge, Magic Chef gas range, and a Whirlpool washer & dryer)
He had taken a picture of a dish rack in a dishwasher that he probably didn't really know what the make was ("Kitchen Aid", he said, when I asked), but this was the house he'd lived in before he moved to the one near me, which had a 'Dishmaster', mounted on the kitchen sink...
A couple that are friends of me & my wife's had a 3 door Gibson side x side fridge in almond in their trailer, but of late replaced it w/ a top freezer fridge in white, of which I forgot what make!
And the laboratory at the hospital I used to work at had a white manual defrost Gibson fridge in which the freezer was sooooooo behind on getting defrosted there was no room in it for anything that the (Yeccchhh!) lab would have kept in it!
OK, on a more lighter note, my cousin & her husband when they were under grads at a University in St. Louis MO had a white Gibson Frost Clear top freezer fridge in the apartment they'd shared before they'd gotten married after graduation (they met, dated & co-habitated at Bard, before transferring to Union City)...
Then there was an entire magazine article advertising an entire Gibson line of appliances, billed as the Gibson Golden Edition, (probably I saw in the late '70's) and years later, a newspaper ad was pushing a WCI-manufactured Gibson washer & dryer citing the virtues of its Titan Tub (plastic, what else?) guaranteed not to rust, chip, corrode, crack or peel! And a fridge, too (forgot if it was T/F r SxS)... This was the late '80's, or maybe 1990, whenever the brand was last struggling for a credible existence, before probably succumbing to a last gasp making only Freezers universally available at any of our local regional Appliance Depots, such as ABC!
That's about basically all I remember seeing other than on screen, watching THE PRICE IS RIGHT!
