How about a 1950 Frigidaire Made only by General Motors.😂😂
I bought it awhile back and it’s been sitting at my shop. While the outside had seen better days the inside looks almost unused and even included the original ice trays and owners manual.
I decided it was time to finish it so it could go in the garage with the 66 GMC I just completed and a 1954 Chevy I will be starting soon. I will keep it short so here are some photos..

Black base applied, untaped, clearcoated, then sanded and retapped. I clear between each step so if a mistake is made it can be wiped off and redone with destroying any prior work.

Applied pearl red base, did some airbrush shading, untaped, 4 coats of clear, then sand and buff.. After that reassembly begins..

Reassembly.. This is the point I am currently at. All that’s left is to clean the inside and install door seal,etc.

Got the inside cleaned up. All that’s left to do is fix and paint the 4 trim pieces that go around the edge of the inside box.

Fabulous! Did you have to convert the coolant system, and how if so?

hey Brad,
I didnt. It still works perfect. To be hones, I think it just sat unplugged for most of its life with the condition the mechanicals and interior are in.
