Back Story
The history behind this thing is actually pretty interesting. Frigidaire was founded in 1918 as the Guardian Frigerator Company (yes, the spelling is correct) in Indiana. A year later, GM co-founder William C. Durant invested in the company, and it was renamed Frigidaire shortly thereafter.
GM owned Frigidaire between 1919 to 1979. During that time, the company also manufactured the compressors used in GM’s air conditioning units for cars, including everything from Cadillacs to Chevrolets

That handle almost looks like it belongs on the fascia of an early 1950s Cadillac Eldorado, and it definitely follows the “form over function” aesthetic that was so popular at the time. This thing is just dripping with retro coolness.
