Oh wow!  That's a nice one...  What was that colour really called, anyway?  I remember seeing it here in Canada, but it wasn't that popular.

The atomic age graphics on the Butter and Cheese compartments alone make this worth it. I don't know what the seller is smoking but that's not just pink, it's SHADED PANK!!!!!!!

 

If I ever saw a Hotpoint Laundry pair in this color I think I would plotz as I was racing to buy it.

Same as the one I posted a week ago in NJ for $25.00 except that one was Coppertone.

Custom Crafter by Hotpoint

I believe Hotpoint introduced this Marquee in 1964 and continued it through at least 1968 (missing in the 1970 line-up except for some cooking products).  This is probably a 1964 or 1965 model, although I cannot find this exact one in my information.  However, until 1966 when Avocado was introduced into the colors, the only shaded color mentioned in their literature is Fashion-Finish Coppertone.  The pink (Petal Pink) was not a shaded color.  So, I have to think that the refrigerator in OR is a coppertone model, with a color-ignorant seller and some very bad lighting and photography.

It sure does appear to be shaded, even in the close-up shots.  I thought maybe the contoured edges were creating the shaded look, but I'm not so sure that's the case.

 

Regardless, if this fridge was near me and had the necessary dimensions, I'd be very tempted even though it lacks the GE swing-out shelves.  The swinging freezer basket almost makes up for it.

 

Given my dislike of coppertone, IMO this fridge is definitely worth ten times more than the the one Ken posted.

Sierra Sand

is Hotpoint's name for the color of the first one shown. A Hotpoint range in this color was posted on here a while back. See link.
