When I was a adolescent (early 1950s), a "four-door" was an automobile, a sedan.
Now (2017), it's a refrigerator. See below, recent ad for "4-door refrigerators" starting at $1,111, and new refrigerator at friends who just remodeled their kitchen. Actually, this is a 2-door and 2-drawer model.
Interestingly, the prices are about the same. A Ford sedan in 1950 cost about $1,700, and I guess the refrigerator below was about the same.
