I'm not sure if this is the place to be asking, but I don't know the year of the refrigerator I saw at the thrift today. It's a Frigidaire Cyclamatic - 15.6 . It's really nothing special inside, but white on the outside, top freezer and older ,but I don't think it's an early 60's model. I'll try to take a picture later, as I pass by to pick up some other things.
But, I was wondering - if anyone knows when the Cyclamatic model was made by Frigidaire...til what year was it made? 1970's? 1960's? I'll get a photo and post if that unit is still there, at 2:30PM. Thanks, anyone. This post was last edited 04/24/2014 at 13:12 | ||

Not what I thought - but....
I was in such a hurry when I first viewed this - it's a freezer, not a refrigerator...and probably nothing at all....
I didn't get a clear image of the logo on the front - it looks like Citation - but I don't recognize the logo ...is it Whirlpool? Sorry, got thinking of Cyclamatics....and extrapolation and blurred vision took over. LOL!

Thanks Tim - as I get more familiar with what is what...this wasn't even close to being a Cyclamatic. PhilR posted one , but it's a refrigerator. I've never seen a Cyclamatic Freezer - but this was hardly close.
Thanks Polkanut - is your refrigerator in photos here somewhere- the ones that PhilR posted are early 1960's so I'd like to see a 1972.

 GM called "Cycla-Matic" most of it's models with a self-defrosting cold plate in the refrigerator section and a manual defrost freezer. They were made from the early 1950s to the mid-late 1970s (in the very end of GM's production, the models with manual defrost freezers and automatic defrost refrigerators were still made but not called Cycla-Matic). The white 1962 Imperial refrigerator that I gave to Paul (in the picture that you posted above) is a Cycla-Matic. The turquoise 1961 isn't a Cycla-Matic (it's a Frost-Proof model).
Here's the badge from the 1962 Cycla-Matic.
Another 1965 Cycla-Matic that Paul has.
And my turquoise 1961 (which isn't a Cycla-Matic).

Don't you ...
just love the old badge id's? I'm sure this is a oft-repeated comment here at aw.org, but I have to say it after seeing the badge/emblems. Nothing like that exists today - there was a little more pride showing through those badges, eh? I won't forget the cyclamatic or the Western Auto Citation. Funny...
I think of the jet, Citation(I worked at an airport and don't associate a Citation with a refrigerator...but a Cycla-Matic....fits...anything "- amatic ' or "a-rama" is a fond memory of those mid-century years. Thanks for posting your photos, PhilR. | ||
