Believe what you've got a hold of their is an Admiral "Duplex" refrigerator/freezer.
They came in three sizes; big, bigger, and giant. *LOL* books.google.com/booksQUESTIONMA... www.repairclinic.com/User...

Wow---that's a behemoth. Interesting reprise of the Foodarama...with the cold plate and everything. I'd bet this was a completely stripped (base) model (without a freezer basket) because it's logo is "Dual-Temp"...I'd bet that Duplex implied frost free both-sides, and this might be one year before the picture above (though the picture calls out cold-plate refrigerator). I don't think that Admiral and Kelvinator ever partnered for refrigeration; but this sure is a linkage between the two.

I'm betting that weighs about 3000 pounds, give or take! Surprisingly nice shape, most times the trade ins I get are dented, scratched, missing shelves, etc, because the delivery people don't care.
Beautiful 'fridge, I would have picked it up just for it being unusual. I saw a similar Coldspot fridge, in Avocado, years ago. Still kick myself for not getting it! | ||

Really nice! I haven't seen one like that before and as you said, it's quite unlike modern units. I've got 10+ fridges now and can't take in any more, or that might be an option.... | ||

Admiral was advertsing "Dual Temperature" Fridges
Going back to the 1950's
It was their way of promoting their refrigerators offered two separate temperature controls; one for fridge and another the freezer. So all types of foods could be stored at proper temperature. The brochure in second link provided spells everything out. Still this "Dual Temp" fridge in OP is advertised to hold nearly 340lbs of food. Cannot imagine buying and storing that much unless one was Mrs. Mike Brady. | ||

And even earlier...Hudsons' was Detroit's great department store, massive building in downtown Detroit. They were big enough to private-label their own appliances (as you can see here) rather than using AMC (believe they were members, though).

Jamiel, that's a neat brochure. They really cover a lot of useful info on the food prep as well as use of the fridge and freezer. | ||

Wow, you got ME just ADMIRING this ADMIRAL!
I had no idea that next to dryers, there was a need in your REFRIGERATOR for an Ozone Ultraviolet light!
Where exactly did it go?! In the same housing as the light that goes on when you open the door, then off when you close it, and in turn actually sustaining more life for your food, extending more life to your perishables?! Where is a feature like that today, where we seem to be actually throwing OUT more things, just because the expiration date is a mere DAY-OLD?! Take a look at MY refrigerator lighting: Only ably lighting the cabinet, and in this "daylight-themed" ordinary incandescent... (Boo, my Whirlpool is Jealous!) (Or perhaps, I need an RCA, circa 1968, in FAWN!) -- Dave | ||
