I just retired my 1968 model General Electric fridge- sad to see it go. They don't sell the new ones in Avocado Green. Ha- the old fridge was green after all!

Got a brand new FridgidAire of about the same size- 18 cu. ft. I happened to have a scrap piece of foil-faced foam (out of the same chunk I used to make the engine blanket for the F150) that was pretty much exactly the same width and depth as the top of the fridge, so up there it went. Perhaps someday the rest of it will get more insulation too- at least along the sides and back. Unfortunately the doors have a pronounced curve to them which although not impossible, complicates adding sheet insulation to the front.

Should see a nice power savings just from having the newer tech though.
