    Quick searches did not reveal any such thing.

    Movie plot - "Indiana" is chased by Russian agents
    into a little "town" - except it's a FAKE town,
    nothing but mannequins and a few pigs. In a
    few minutes there's a nuke bomb test. Indy locks
    himself into a Norge refrigerator - bearing a
    panel saying "lead lined", and though blasted
    miles away DID survive.

    Yes, they DID such tests, kinda often.

    But - was there EVER such a thing as a
    lead-lined Norge ???

    I'd not be totally surprised - the old
    Cold War did inspire a lot of 'survival'
    related stuff, esp in the 50s.

    Norge fridges - old but ROBUST tech.
    40s/50s mostly. Best identified by
    the circular condenser coil on top
    of the unit.

    Came across one in the late 2010s ... in
    a country gas-o-mart. STILL worked !
    Wow ... 1940s tech STILL working while
    yer more recent CRAP maybe, just might,
    be good for 10 years. How FAR we've
    fallen !

    IMHO "durable goods" ought to be damned
    well DURABLE. That was SUPPOSED to be
    the "American Way" ....... THE Best.
