P.W.,

As hard as I tried today to think of some old expressions you didn't already post, the only one I could think of was "icebox".

When I was growing up, anything you wanted to keep cool was put in the "icebox", even though I am not old enough to remember real iceboxes.

Well, except for the ones in my Dad's houseboat and in my old pop up camper.

Then they were referred to as refrigerators for a while but mostly now everyone refers to them as fridges.

LOL

Have fun,
Phil

"Remember "Continental kits?" They were rear bumper extenders and spare tire covers that were supposed to make any car as cool as a Lincoln Continental"

LOL! Thanks for the memories. My first car - in 1957 - was a 1952 Ford four door, not only with a continental kit but fender skirts as well!

I do remember our icebox. We replaced it in 1950 with brand new refrigerator - not a "frigidaire" but a Westinghouse.
