Can we start a Mid 50s to mid 60s refrigerator picture thread?

The interior

Pull out sliding drawers in this one. I had to recreate the two turquoise side panels out of aluminum as the original plastic side panels were disintegrating.

1948 General Electric. New paint about 7 years ago, new grounded cord, new lower door gasket.Been working great!Defrost it in the Spring and Fall. Twice per year is not bad. You will notice more vintage Hotpoint/GE fridges than any other brands. I really do think they built the best, back in the day.

Kevin, that '56 Hotpoint is a real stunner!  There's probably no end to the compliments you must surely receive about it.

Good Lawd.

 

That 1956 HotPoint is the exact Fridge that I grew up with.

 

Gorgeous  Restoration.  And the Interior Shot brought back a lot of memories.

 

Rick, your GE is also stunning.

 

I think ours was a 1955 in our Summer Cottage.  You're right.  I think GE and Hotpoint were the "Last Word" in Refrigerators back then.

I think I have five or six older refrigerators, but here's one that i picked up a little while ago and still at the front of the garage where I can take a photo. It runs nicely and next spring I'm going to see if I can't shine up the exterior.

Is that a model with the electric door opener? 

 

 

 

[kevin313]

Yes - you press the large button on the door and it opens. I don't know what you do if the power goes out!!

Beautiful G.E.!

 

[carolinacat]

As do you sir. I love mine so much I'll do what ever it takes to resuscitate it if/when it dies.

Not a refrigerator but a 1960 Frost-Proof food freezer.

A good thread that needs to be updated!
