How cool!
It's a GM made 3 door version. I still have my 2 door version from 1976 and it's still going strong.

I took the shelves for the ice trays out and added on the "Automatic Ice" maker.
FRIGIDAIR-IFFIC!!!!!!
I always thought this was a very exciting design! Especially the narrow tubular shaped light bulbs over the doors (which luckily you can still get!)...!
The only "minus": You have to move the entire thing away from the wall to clean the condenser coils behind!

Thanks Jerry and Dave
Of course I moved things around inside for the photo before I took the pictures. LOL
Also the coils are underneath the fridge not on the back! You have to pull out the fridge from the wall, then remove a cardboard panel on the bottom at the back and use a vacuum crevice tool to suck out the lint and dust. I do it about every two years.
Here's the ice maker control up close.

Nice Frigidaires. Pat, does your ice maker work? What do the cubes look like?
Greg, YES!
The ice maker does work. I actually have a spare should this one ever stop working but it never has. It's been running perfect since I put it in about 1993 and since we have soft water here, no build up on the plastic flex ice tray so they keep popping out perfectly.
Here's a picture of the bin with ice in it.

Here is a picture of the cubes in a glass. maybe you can see these better.
And here is a picture looking up into the bottom of the ice maker with the bin removed.
Just for fun...
I bought these ice trays which have never been opened several years ago which make about the same size ice cubes. I've got the smoke colored plastic bin that goes with the trays too. You just lay the trays on top of the bin and push the sides and cubes just pop out.

You know, I have never once seen a fridge with the doors in that configuration! Very cool!
Awesome Frigidaire's!
Such great examples! Patrick you are so lucky to have an original!
I so remember these and loved them when they were on the showroom floor back when!
It is awesome that you have one that is working great, and you are the original owner!
Love the ice maker!
Jerry very cool that your friend bought a home with one in it! It looks to be in great condition also!
Thanks for the pictures guys!

"Will I find anything in that ice box of yours?"
"Yeah, a bottle of gin and some cobwebs!" *LOL*
Great find!

3 door Side by side
I had an older version of this along with the exact matching dishwasher, trash compactor,washer and electric dryer. All Custom Imperials. the refrigerator had an "entertainment center" which was an AM/FM radio, a cassett recorder/player/message maker and fit inside a pocket molded out on the smaller third freezer door.It too had the FlexQuick automatic ice maker that worked uaing weight and automaticaly stopped once it was full of non sticking ice cubes.That was because they used the flex trays as oposed to heat to release cubes.The dryer was full of clothes when I got it!---Lady's clothes!!!!
