GM Refrigerators were "Frigidaire"
Ford Refrigerators were "Philco"
Nash Refrigerators were "Kelvinator"

Crosley also made Refrigerators but I remember them as Crosleys...

Paleese tell me more about that horizontal mounted distributor. I've never seen that before. Is that an AMC?
It is a AMC Indy block and heads.  Stickshifter made up the distributor drive system.

Its a Stickshifter belt drive NOT JESEL. Stickshifter has a way better design that jesel does..
