A 1966, I believe. Shaded Coppertone, right hand door hinge, cycle defrost. Shame there is no information about its working condition, but chances are that it still does work. Now, all I need is one like this in turquoise to show up a little closer to the QC/VT or QC/NY border....
Pictures for the archives. |

I think it's more likely to be a '64 or '65 model, as the door handles were redesigned for most of the '66 models. My Aunt Julie had a '66 in Shaded Coppertone, and it had different handles from the one shown. |

It appears to be an updated Combination design with manual defrost freezer section. I hope GE was still putting drains in the freezer for easy defrosting when this fridge was made.
I wonder if the non Frost Guard models may have used leftover design components from previous years while the models further up the line got new design treatments. That seemed to be the case from the mid '50s into the earlier '60s.
