That is a pretty little fridge! Really unique looking. I first noticed it on the video of the CK you rewired. The color looked more periwinkle in the video but in most of these pictures it looks more pastel. I'm guessing it is more of a pastel blue than a deeper one? Thanks! It's just medium blue - in my opinion, between pastel and dark. I really love the color.

I am negotiating with him that he can repaint our CK only if he paints it a color of my choosing other than white. For a long time I told him he couldn't repaint it (I like patina, as long as it is not too much patina). I am considering a rule that for every new fridge that comes into the driveway, I get to choose a paint color for one of ours other than white. Also, growing up in a Farmall family, your Philco gets bonus points for an IH paint color.

Awesome! I think you're on the right track making deals to get to paint fridges as a trade-off for collecting more and more of them. That is a win-win situation if there ever was one!
I also have a hard time "thinking about" painting one other than white. Lack of creativity maybe? But once someone else decides on a great color like the IH Blue; it really makes me happy to carry out their plan and see it come together.
I bet a non-porcelain CK painted in a color like that blue would really pop!
Nice to hear that you grew up with Farmall and IH. I do have an IH refrigerator as well! It is in rough shape. The cabinet could be spruced up nicely, but the interior trim is cracked up badly. Not sure how I could restore that part of it.
It does run and cool, with its original R12 Tecumseh pancake compressor.
