I want to copy the exterior look of an electronic device designed and marketed in the 1950s for a commercial project. Given that this was 60+ years ago, will there be any legal barriers to this? I've done some research on the company that released the product in question. They have been bought out…

Legal advice on how to check if a design patent/copyright has expired.

Why not just ask them if you can use the look for your project?
