My sister and then-BIL picked up the largest 1961 version of this fridge in around 1976. It was humongous and had fluorescent lighting in the fresh food section. The subject fridge is I'd say a few years newer. There is no drain in the middle of the freezer floor, which means the defrost system on it is simplified and upgraded from the earlier types that used heated floors with molded channels to route the frost melt toward the drain.
It would be nice if they'd at least say if it operates properly or not.

Looks similar to our first frig circa 1966ish. I know the handles were different and it had an ice maker. I think the lining was a pastel green as well.
I remember as a child getting up in the morning, pushing the chair over to the frig with the door open and finding a bottle of cherries in the door and having some and a tub of what I hoped was ice cream on one of the upper shelves. After I tasted it I was positively horrified to find that is was sour cream and went running to my room, leaving the door and chair in place for my parents to find when they woke up. lol

Our family fridge when I was a teenager was the ‘61 model of this Coldspot fridge. It was a really nice fridge, never any problems with it. It was in the house when Mom bought our home on the North Sonoma Co. coast in ‘63.

Friend's family had this. It took a few flashes for the fluorescent lighting to stay on each time the door was opened.
