Brand new 50's Amana 'fridge

[swestoyz]

If I remember right, Maytag marketed their model as the Double Decker, in fact I believe the brochure for the Maytag model is in AE.org.  I've never seen either an Amana or a Maytag in the flesh, but have always wanted to find one.

 

Funny thing - when I picked up the '56 Hotpoint last month, an identical Amana upright freezer was in the basement, and was in mint condition.  I thought about it for about a split second.... lol.

That big old Amana Freezer pictured to the left...same one at my Mom's house. I made the new owners take it before I sold them the house. What an energy pig that thing was even with it's 10" thick walls. Defrosting was an all-day job and a pain in the fanny. Anyone who would even pay $80.00 for those 2 Amanas not only has a screw loose, the screws fell out long ago.

We had this fridge for about 12-15 years never had a repair. I always thought it looked big and bulky,and those strange little feet in the front. We got this and a new Hotpoint washer on the same day. I was more interested in the washer.

For some reason that Amana fridge looks like one that was in one of the "Brave Little Toaster" movies!Very nice-but don't want to pay 8 grand.

It's beautiful, no question about it.  But $8000.00? Sellers note to self: Have head examined.
