I've heard of International Harvester trucks, but refrigerators too?

Carey Grant hi-jacked a pick up truck carrying such a fridge, being driven by such a typical I-H client in the movie, NORTH, BY NORTHWEST...

Would have made a great commercial for that brand...

What would later incarnations (from non-rounded corners, onward) of this fridge be like? Side By Sides? Ice & Water dispensers? Bottom Mounts, including the excessive use of roll-out freezers and french doors? Stainless steel inside and out?

And going from WCI-built garbage to the Electrolux promise of quality, at the expense of being helmed from over-seas?

WP also bought Servel to get the icemaker.

Also made televisions in the 50s. Our neighbors had one.

I've known several people with IH chest freezers. One of them was the largest home freezer I've ever seen. Had to be at least 8' long.

Good eye  Dave!  I remember the scene in  N. by NW.  right after the crop dusting  ordeal..

Carey Grant called the hotel desk to have his suit " sponged and pressed".  IIRC
