I had no idea it was a Frigidaire at the time; the freezer door was open and being blocked by another fridge, but the Imperial badge caught my eye. The pics do not do any of the emblems or door design justice. Gleaming chrome bezels, eye popping metallic color, and if you look closely, a star pattern behind the plastic of the Imperial badge, and the Fridgidaire logo behind the other. Check out how the door curves outward to meet the handle...the fluted, two-tone painted handle. This thing must've been near TOL, it had multiple lights inside, of two different styles. I grabbed both for future projects, the one is chrome and glass and would make an excellent built-in cupboard or stair light. If this thing were any other color than white, it'd be in my basement : )
 
This is the exact same refrigiator that my parents put in along with a Flair range in 1963 when they redidi the kitchen. They built the house in 1949 moved in right before I was born and all was still going strong when they sold and moved to a smaller in in 1994. My mother at age 85 still wishes for her Flair range it was TOL with the double ovens and Teflon slide outs in the oven with the chrome under neath. We cooked at her new home here today and she said all day wish I had my Flair. For laundry she was always a Maytag person don't know why. My mother-in-law was total Frigidaire with the Flair Range, refrigidator, and laundry. Had a great set of Rapid dry's that still worked in 1979 but found they were changing so traded for a 1-18 TOL set that is still going strong.
 
Mom's Flair

So give the woman a Flair! Make her Golden Years happy one's! It would be worth it to see the shock on her face.
