Have not seen this Kelvinator Cooler before, can anyone confirm its originality, if its been cut in half and replaced the chrome trim at the bottom and what lids it came with?
Dimensions are 42 inches long 26 wide and 21 tall.
Thanks,

Yes, I should have checked my spelling.

The trim is original but it has been cut down and the lid isn't original, I'm also assuming that the refrigiration unit has been removed seeing it's been cut down. It's actually a Canadian model made about an hour away from Detroit Michigan, in my opinion they are the nicest Kelvinator cooler made ! Still lots of beautiful originals to be had for under $500 around my area !

I kind of like it, the trim is in decent shape. He wants $450 for it, I may consider it if I can get him down under $300.

Where are you located smoothie ? If you really want that model I can find you a nice original for around that price, I wouldn't buy that one to be honest, the fact that it's been cut down and the refrigiration unit revomed is nothing compared to that hideous lid !

Yes, the lid kind of ruins the look.

I have one of those coolers as well. Mine came from the general store on Pelee Island in the middle of Lake Erie. I bought it from the former owner's son. Needs restoration though but the liner is still water tight!  Tim |

Found a complete one except for the small cover, doesn't run for $700. Chrome has been redone. Tempting.

That square cover is the cap catcher--more of a little drawer. The previous owner of mine mounted a plastic pull on the cap catcher with is not correct but it works! I would think that could be fabricated or I have noticed that some of the Westy cap catchers are similar in size. Mine is missing the cover for the water circulator so if you guys up in Canada happen to run across one, let me know! Tim |

With the chrome redone, that's not a bad price. I usually have to pay that much or more to re-chrome the moldings on those. We have restored quite a few of them up here in Canada. |

I really like the Art Deco trim on these models!

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |
