Why it's fit for a queen!
I wonder what else is in that house! Jamie, if you didn't already have that super cool Frigidaire - I'd say go for it!

Maybe fit for a late 70's or early 80's queen - they had that painted to match the kitchen which is what I really want to see pics of!
Greg - are you sure? 
Oh yeah, that is WAYYY too new of a fridge to be a vintage pink one.
What's a "princess series" fridge?

Yeah, that 'fridge is from the 80's I believe. I wonder if they're going to repaint the new one.....

Yup...
Ben, When I first saw the ad I thought the fridge looked too modern, but it threw me off because it's Pink. Never thought about a repaint. Duh, I should have considered that possibility because some friends of my moms are trying to sell the appliances from a house they bought as they are gutting the whole thing. They have a vintage GE double oven & cooktop in Turquiose and a NEWER fridge the previous owners had painted to match. If I didn't have that cool Frigidaire I would consider this one.
Kenny, I emailed the sellers and asked them if it worked. I wonder if they are going to redo their kitchen? because why bother repainting a new one if the old one works. I think Greg DOES need the cabinets as they would match his stove!
I hope someone in this area gets it if it works, as I hate to see anything get thrown away. (the hoarder in me) LOL!

Princess is a model-line designation for refrigeration in the 1980s (maybe late 70s also?), like Supreme and Imperial and Imperial Mark XII and Imperial Mark 18 for laundry. IIRC, Princess was a sort of MOL, considered a good value for features. Or maybe it was more of a budget-line. I never was completely clear on that.

I just heard back from the sellers. They just bought the house last week-end. The fridge does work, but they have no clue as to the age. They said the house was built in 1959, so maybe they are assuming it's an "old" one. Well.. it is over 20 years old I guess....
Ben, it would have to take a really spectacular fridge to replace my Frigidaire. I pray it keeps hummin away for YEARS. When I look at it I still think "How the f**k did we get it in here??" LOL!!! I mean to tell ya, Greg and I had to take the weatherstripping off the door and give a mighty good SHOVE. What a great friend, but I bet he'll never want to help me move an appliance in this house again... LOL!!!!
