When I was a kid, my uncle had an old refrigerator in his basement that he kept Budweiser in. It looked like it was probably from about 1955. It had a fancy, fifties-looking nameplate on the front reading “Frigidaire … by General Motors”. (GM used to own Frigidaire).

Does anyone have a fridge like that, or know of a website with a picture of one? I looked around but couldn’t find one. I’ve always thought a refrigerator with a GM logo on it was cool.
