I believe the woman in the Frigidaire ad is Betty Furness.
The bumper projections are known as "Dagmars" after the 50's actress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagmar_(American_actress)

I have a mid-1950s (at least) fridge that is the only refrigerator that I remember my parents ever having. It is a Hotpoint, I believe. I can remember my dad picking me up and setting me down on top of it when he'd get home from work. I keep it in the garage for keeping extra fruit and vegetables, and I put venison in there to age. The old thing floated during the flood of '99 (Hurricane Floyd) but still works like it always has. No telling how much it adds to my electric bill each month, but I don't care.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

The 50`s was the pointy tits era.It was also when women wore girdles .Hard to get them things off.

Stupidity left unattended will run rampant
Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
