Better than we have now "1956 Frigidaire Refrigerator ice box Commercial"

Wow.
10x better than any modern fridge.

I don't miss old refrigerators. Chipping the frost off, power sucking, etc. Many improvements.

Years ago I worked on some old ones and they were tanks.

I wish my expensive 2019 refrigerator and freezer had those options. It feels to me like my unit is the 1956 model, and that one with all them cool features in the modern one.

We continue to progress backwards over the decades...

These have Deluxe Textakite Ionic panel fluting, T-rail deluxe supports, Quicktrays, Telefrost indicators and a Thriftometer.

If they built this one today with auto ice maker and auto defrost with the same workmanship it would 10K +

Back then things were built good. Now we have total crap.

Is it a toilet seat or Pony collar?

one hell of a car

Mmmm live those 50s tits

Grew up with the later iteration of this model, maybe a 1960. Crisper in the door was genius.

Re: Edsel, drum brakes suck.

not an ice box

I"m on my third compressor for this LG Fridge. LG is Ericson I found out later.
The last compressor before this one. The appliance guy used the vacuum in the compressor to suck in the new refrigerant. Never used a vacuum pump to remove the compressables? I told him on the spot this was not acceptable. HE turned Nasty. I threw him out and told him to send someone who can do the job properly. With a new compressor and a new control board. Linear compressor with a 10 yr warranty. The guy was an idiot.

My fridge was made in 1963. Its an old green Whestinghouse covered in bumper stickers to hide the rust and it needs
de-iced twice a year, but its 2022 and it still works fine. I paid 75 bucks for it in 1996.

4 inches of hard ice in the icebox

My grandparents had a Servel natural gas refrigerator, it had a tiny flame that burned all the time, always kept going when the electric was off. I would guess they bought it in the late 40s early 50s.

That fridge was still working in 2011 when it was removed because of fears about the ammonia in the system should it spring a leak.

Thing was like a vault, had great big chrome handle a foot long that latched closed. The fridge itself never made a sound.

Your electric bill would drop a lot with a new fridge.

That's my Hometown!
