I remember when..............
Now......just.....wait.....a.........minute..............
Your first COLOR TV is what you mean, right??? If your first car was a 72, and gas was 43, you can't be THAT old.
Until I was in Jr. High, my Mother's parents did NOT have running water, and carried drinking water home in a big milk can. They didn't have a refrigerator, rather an ice box. Grampa used to continuously have a pan in the trunk of the car to bring home big ice blocks once or twice a week.
My parent's first refrigerator, a "Crosley Shelvador"
It got it's name because it was one of the first, maybe THE first to have "shelves in the door."
Ours was a little newer than this one, and did not have a built in radio. But the evaporator ("freezer") was the thing hanging down at top center. You could, as I remember, get about 1 qt of ice cream and a couple of ice cube trays in the thing and THAT was IT
We had that thing until somewhere around 58 when we got a larger one.
