I'm nearly certain it's a 1957 model. Very nice!

What a beauty!  And it foreshadows the first Coldspot BF models in its configuration. 

 

I wonder why more of these pre-frostless Whirlpools didn't survive.  Were they more expensive than their GE contemporaries, which show up far more often and aren't as well appointed, despite their revolving shelves?

This refrigerator is an amazing condition. It must be almost on used.

I think the reason Ralph that a lot of these did not survive is that the plastic parts we’re pretty bad and they usually got pretty busted up. GE’s were a little bit more rugged in this time. Although I think whirlpool had a better refrigeration system, they didn’t have the compressor problem that a GE refrigerator would’ve had at this age.

I suspect there were also a lot more GE refrigerators were Sold whirlpool was just coming out as a brand in refrigerators even Sears didn’t sell a lot of refrigerators at this time. They weren’t a major source yet for refrigerators.
