More than likely that fridge is still in someone's garage or basement, might not be so pretty anymore but still keeping things cold! They were made to last, have mother in laws old freezer in the basement, it may even be older than husband is and he's 59. It use to be if someone wanted a new, bigger appliance they passed down their old one, now we are lucky if appliances last more than a few years.... adding to landfills.

Same here, kitchen appliances here are old and hope they last for another 20 years. Besides there are lots of nice looking cover-ups for old fridges on pinterest.
