Opening up the Fridge?

What could be more refreshing on a warm, Saturday afternoon than opening up the fridge? Recently, I had the opportunity to do just that. “Boring” you say, “a refrigerator, is a refrigerator, is a refrigerator. “Not so” I say, because the refrigerator in this case is not a Whirlpool or a GE. It’s a special, older model made by a company called Shelby American. If I’m not mistaken, the model number was GT something. Oh yeah! GT350.

The location for this meeting of man and appliance was the Chrysler Classic Speed Festival on San Diego’s Coronado Island. The appliance in question was my friend and partner’s long ago acquired, but recently sorted, 1965 Shelby GT350, aka “The Fridge”.
