What are these called?

[danrooklv]

I have a matched pair of turquoise GE cooktop (with pushbutton controls) and wall-mount oven. I'm now on the hunt for a fridge. I have seen several that I like but I'm not certain what they are called or what the modelm number might be.

The one at the top of the attached link is similar, although I am looking for chrome only, not the gold on this one.

Basically, I am looking for a late 50's or early 60's model that is square in shape, not the rounded edges of an earlier time period. lots of chrome on the front. Some I have seen have a sort of atomic star pattern in a chrome color on what appears to be the freezer door.

what do I call these things? is there a particular model number or name I should be looking for?

thanks in advance for the info

I think that you could begin by describing it as a GE refrigerator-freezer combination with the roll out freezer. If you want the one pictured, you could further describe the box by saying the refrigerator has the serpentine refrigerating coil. Those models are not frost free, but they did have a pedal to open the refrigerator door.

If you are interested in the later roll out bottom freezer Frost Guard models, you could specify that and call them what GE did, the 18.8 Spacemaker. I have my parents' 1961 Spacemaker. The big deal with this was that the thin wall foam insulation enabled an 18.8 cu. ft box to fit in the space of the old 10 cu ft. box that used the thicker fiberglass insulation. These bottom freezer models later were available in a smaller size, too.
