Any refrigerator built during the mid 20th century. These nifty fridges are easy to identify, as they are usually covered in a lot of chrome, badges and will likely have rounded edges. Kelvinator, Philco, Smeg were some of the more well-known fridge manufacturers of the era.
Retro refrigerators are highly sought after by those who have an eye for neat stuff. Basically if you're into art, then you'll like retro fridges. These fridges are relics from a bygone time when women wore stockings and suspender belts, cars were awesome and rockn'roll was the big thing.
Sadly, thanks to the usual groups of lunatics, retro fridges are slowly becoming extinct. Crusty environmentalists always slander these great old appliances, calling them "inefficient". Apparently, some people care more about "energy efficiency" than aesthetics or history.
A modern fridge lasts about six-ten years, tops.
Retro fridges do not break down, they have been going good for 50+ years and will never be beat.

My old Kelvinator fridge is in great condition, it was built in 1957 and still functions fine today. You just have to defrost the excess ice from the upper icebox compartment every month or so...
Go screw yourselves you green-thumbed environmentalists, you'll never take away my gas-guzzling classic car or my electricity-burning Retro Fridge!!

Get the retro slangmug. A Softer More colorful version of punk, more popular in Britain and the UK, guys usually have shorter shaggy hair or anything emo-esk, girls have white-blonde, black or any neon color hair thats either in pigtails or any kind of shorter kind of choppy kind of cut. Both guy and girls wear big shinny plastic glasses that often are orange or green and do nothing to protect you from the sun at all and newsboy hats. Girls wear vinyl plastic dresses or capris and light cotton t-shirts. Guys wear stretch pants or tight girls pants sometimes ripped or with many patches, shirts similar to that of girls fashion and long aviator scarfs, retro-punk clothes can usually be found in thrift and reslae boutique stores, or if worst comes to worst urban outfitters is somewhat close. They like vespas, Beatles and mini copper type cars, and anything bubbly and plastic/vinyl. Bands like the Kinks, the Beatles and the who are good authentic retro-punk bands. Bands like The White Stripes, Soledad Brothers, Le Tigre, Franze Furdinand or any other more simplistic band is probably a good bet for more modern retro-punk music.
John: Wow! look at those two people!
Jacky: I know! his scarf and sun glasses are so cool! and look at her matching yellow vinyl dress and hat.
John: They are so Retro-punk!

Get the Retro-punkmug. A new movement of bands from 2001 on up playing rock music that has the feel of music from the 60s and 70s. Older bands that have had influences on Retro Rock musicians include but are not limited to:
The Who (usually a major influence)
The Beatles
Jimi Hendrix
The Ramones
Led Zeppelin
Retro Rockers usually act and dress like the 1960 mods. The composition of retro style music isn't just roots 5th chords and senseless uneducated nonsense (which are primary features of the retro subgenre "garage rock") they usually try to show off some musical maturity by letting the lead guitar show of his/her chops.
