That's beautiful, and it looks late enough to be frost free.
I think it's more coppertone/brown than pink though. It looks just like the one my uncle had in his brand new 1962 home.

Mid 60's
That handle style was used from around '63 to '68, when they changed to the longer Woodgrain type starting in '69.
I agree with Ralph that this fridge is brown rather than pink. Some relatives had a '65 top-freezer model in Coppertone, and it was quite a bit darker than what is shown. It looks to be the shade of brown my mom's cousin Marie's GE appliances were in her house she built in '62 or '63. I believe this is the brown that came after Woodtone Brown, but can't remember the name for it. Think it was only sold for a couple of years, as Coppertone was much more popular.

Yeah, my uncle worked for GE, but I also know the development he lived in had built-in GE cooktops and ovens. I don't know if refrigerators were included or optional, or whether he upgraded the fridge since he would have gotten an employee discount.
