So they probably sold about two of these. If any. This is high-concept advertising art. The dream refrigerator!!! that almost no one could afford, much less have room for in the tiny kitchens that were typical in 50s houses.
I once read that it is standard practice for B2B (business-to-business) salesmen to offer three plans to service their client's needs. First, the really high-end all-the-bells-and-whistles "solution", then the mid-range solution, then the bare-bones solution. For the salesman, the rare occasion on which the client actually chooses the high-end solution is a bonus; the real purpose is to make sure the client doesn't choose the cheap solution. The high-end gets his mouth watering; it also makes him feel like a cheapskate if he chooses the cheap solution.
Wow, just, Wow
