I'm using the HC11 as my main refrigerator still in 2020. I've got it from my parents who got it from their parents. It still works perfectly.

[@Masterkill45588]

Man I'd love to have one too

[@cherrelle9964]

Cool. You should make a quick video to show off it’s vintage beauty.

[@lonniebishop1750]

A very creative way to sell refrigerators and freezers. Thanks for posting this rare film.

[@Ctrl-XYZ]

The singer here is Winfred J. Stracke, a Chicago children’s television host known as Uncle Win.

[@bansheemania1692]

Still have an HS12T up my cabin. Keeps Beer Cold

[@Madness832]

HI-14B drinking game: take a shot every time he says, "jet-cold shelf!" :D

[@richardgray8593]

How about a model with Wi-Fi connectivity? That INCREDIBLE moveable egg box blew my mind!!! You can put the eggs any place you feel like!

[@gaelan2k9]

The names start becoming a mouthful haha

[@ohmyblindman]

You kids don't realize what an innovation "frost free" actually was. Defrosting the fridge was a horrible job.

[@motownjamz6389]

I wonder why new fridges don't have shelves that swing out? Seems like a good idea. I'm sure something went wrong that I am not thinking of.

[@Pgcmoore]

outstanding!!!

[@BrianSmith-wh9bi]

Anyone know the name of the announcer. He did so many voiceovers for Intermission ads.

[@20alphabet]

Nice figure!

[@croiners4166]

Wow!

[@terrijuanette486]

This frig pales in comparison to the features on the 1954 Westinghouse and doesn't hold even a candle to the 1956 Frigidaire. Both of those have pull out shelves and the '56 Frigidaire has an amazing, removable fruit/veggie holder...in the door!! A man designed this frig. He thinks that a egg holder where you have to stack the eggs (making them more susceptible to breaking) is better. He must be related to the man who designed my kitchen (which I renovated, thank Heaven.)

[@patcola7335]

Whirlpool was relatively new to the refrigerator game at this point. They always made a quality refrigerator though.

[@fredabery2083]

The only thing missing is 20 more models. This is when things went wrong

[@ClassicStreetIron]

How much for that 1961 MARK 61?

[@wagonron]

“And believe me when I say”

[@textB00Kcase]

Wow.. just wow... How drunk were they when they thought of this?

[@MitzvosGolem1]

Whirlpool best...

[@patcola7335]

When Whirlpool up until recently made great appliances.

[@luisreyes1963]

When they used to be a subsidiary of RCA.

[@patcola7335]

​​@@luisreyes1963Whirlpool was never a subsidiary of RCA. They used RCA's name because Whirlpool bought one of their appliance divisions. The name Whirlpool was relatively new in the 1950s and early 60s so the RCA name gave them more recognition. Sears was a major factor in the growth of whirlpool as Whirlpool built all their washers and dryers for them.

[@luisreyes1963]

So why do freezers need a lock on their door? 😕

[@AmazingArends]

I like this old ad a lot better than the modern stuff, but that third-rate crooner gets tiresome pretty quickly!

[@satanofficial3902]

No Mr. B Natural?

[@satanofficial3902]

Mr. B Natural for President 2020!!! MAMA... Make America Musical Again

[@satanofficial3902]

Mr. B Natural could have sold freezers like hot cakes.
