Look at the photos closely - what's really neat about this refrigerator is the doors appear to be reversible.

Style and color has me thinking early to mid 60s. But didn't reversible doors come a little later? Would this be a Whirlpool?

 

[pulltostart]

Turquoise disappeared in 1966/1967 with the introduction of avocado.  Not sure when the concept of reversible doors was introduced, but if you look at the close up shots of the cabinet, there are plugs where the hinges would be located on the left side.  Also, the handles for both the refrigerator and the freezer work from either side.  Perhaps this was not really designed for the end user to make the change, but just how Sears and Whirlpool constructed the cabinets...

Missing a crisper drawer, but still a nice unit.

1969-70 Whirlpool built Coldspot Refrigerator

This pretty ref was repainted as this color was long gone, yes the doors were reversible, WP started having reversible doors on some models in the mid 60s.

 

Sears continued the use of this style door handles through around 1974 on some models, the cool thing about these handles is they did not need to be revered and the ref handle would hold a kitchen towel nicely.
