these old refrigerators were top quality. nowadays new refrigerators are a piece of shit.

Those old refrigerators are built very strong. Have a smiliar one in the basement and it has outlasted 4 refrigerators in the house. I'm seriously considering painting it and bringing it back up. Just kicks on and runs maybe 3 times a day too because of that thick insulation and doors that actually latch shut.

@cadogan32 A "butter conditioner" is a litttle compartment that keeps ur butter at just the right temperature so u can spread it easy, but cold enough so it doesn't go rancid. It's a bit warmer than the rest of the fridge. Most butter compartments in modern fridges just cubby holes....same temperature as the rest of the refrigerator.
(They made fridges better in the 50's/60's.)

these things are built like a tank. i grew up in the 60's and my family had one of these things. the stinkin' thing is still running - never needs work, never stopped. nowadays, refrigerators can't cool hot crap...

Is it a fridge or a car???
This is from the show "I Married Joan". The 240p upload is inferior to the quality of the original (or closest surviving) film print, which would probably be 35mm film. Though as you can see, this particular print is a little dark (or maybe that's just the transfer?)

is it just me or do people's voices in the mid1900s sound the same?

@cokeme002 People will probably make the same comment 50 years from now when watching today's commercials.
