Those Hotpoint's are beautiful. We had Hotpoint but it was the BOL model. They washed very well, but weren't the most reliable machines.
The most stylish "Cadillac of washers"?

The 1958 Frigidaire Unimatic & Filtrator set is also a contender as some have mentioned, I had these in my kitchen for several years until the '57 Control Tower set showed up one day...

i so miss the days when washers where simple and i also miss this set dating back from my youth 1972 inglis superb with brush lint filter dispenser and mountable liquid fabric softner dispenser
Do you have an up close of the washer's control panel? I'd love all those buttons scooted to the left with with a stylish timer on the right. User control + lots of options- my favorite!
Sure Chet, not exactly sure if you're talking about the '58 but here it is...

and if you're referring to the '61 Hotpoint here it is...
I washed my father's construction clothes in these machines and got my arm caught in them once I had to pull the plug because there were no safety door locks then.
The Hotpoint, and yes, it is beautiful! I love push button washers. I just wish it would offer more warm rinses. I like the fact the 58 offers a cool rinse option. I'd use that often in the winter.
I think you have to agree the 57 control towers fall into the school of design that "less is more" 
I also have to say these 65 or 66 frigidaires aren't anything to sneeze at.
I've always liked Frigidaire's Honey Beige color. Those machines look good in it.

Here’s the pictures. These are of my 1978 set. I posted my first reply right before I went to bed, so I didn’t even think to post pictures.
