My parents had one of these, too, only it was green. Maybe this one is green. Mine is gray, given to me by an AA oldtimer when I moved out on my own.

My grandma had a really cool one. These were so sturdy and well built, much like the cars of that time. They are still beautiful! Take good care of it. It should be in a museum someday.
My Grandpa Houdek was the King of Formica! Especially "White Gold" - all the Kitchen Countertops were done in this fashion, and the drawer handles were all chrome!
The house I grew up in had actually been built in West Racine - then moved just West of Lathrop - by Progressive Dairy". The Dairy was still in operation, and while delivery was motorized now, the old Horse barns remained, and I played and caught insects and butterflies amongst them. Every Spring my Mother would buy Flower and Vegetable seedlings from the West Racine Greenhouse - now long gone. There was even a small Apple Orchard on Sixteenth and Kentucky. Now it's all been replaced by.... GHETTO.
Goodbye Racine.
that was some really solid stuff, I remember it well!
We had one similar to that one. I think it was gray.
