Kelvinator Foodarama - Ebay

[bugsyjones]

It's utterly indecent the way I lust after this refrigerator! For years I have searched for one close and for a good price. Twice I've had one right in my hands just to have it POOF! slip away. Alas, I am (in more way than one) unable to have this.

So I'll pass it along.

This is a first-year '55 model. (Not 52 as the listing says) It's not working, but I wouldn't care. It's C-O-M-P-L-E-T-E. Everything is there. Including the extremely ellusive and rare juice containers. The only things missing are six metal ice cube trays. Any mechanical work needed would be worth it.

Very nice, but good luck to the seller at that price. The last three working ones I've seen sold for between $500 and $1200 in the past year.

Here's another one in Boerne, Texas - looks like it has been outside for a while:

That's quite a bit for a dead one. Maybe half of that, IF IT WORKED!

That one in Texas is sad.....

The first Foodaram is nice-but it would be NICER if it worked-all you get is a metal cabinet with a dead compressor.
The second one looks like a refugee from the dump.You would have to PAY me to haul it away.I hate it when sellers say how nice an item is--but only if it WORKS!

Will somebody please inform the seller that this is 2010 and not 2004!

Always thought these behemoths were really cool...pun intended

pun intended

Haha. Yeah, these aren't the BEST examples of Foodaramas, but this refrigerator is going to be the crown jewel in my kitchen design. I have reserved a space just for it. I just need one to come my way at the right time and right price.

Foodarama, I will own you someday.

I put in a low-ball offer on the ebay one, we'll see what happens.

 

[58limited]

Holy Cow! It sold for the buy-it-now price!

Someone Bring Me A Bromide, And Put Some Gin In It!

*LOL*

Knew there was a heated market for Foodaramas, but had no idea a non-working, in need of restoration work unit would sell for *that* much.
