John, The Dodge is dy-no-mite!  What fun it must be to tool around in it and show it off.   lawrence

Melvin, You'll be a good next owner; just the kind of owner a CL ad would be hoping to connect with!   If you want more information necessary for arranging shipping, let me know.   We can communicate via email.   lawrence

I think the time has come for me to pass this girl along to someone who knows how to work on her and wants to bring a vintage washer back to life.  The washer is a 1958 General Electric two-speed Filter-Flo, Model #1WA850R1W, Serial #NR112477.  I bought this machine right at 3 years ago from a...

Age I believe the original assertion that this pair is from 1972 is probably accurate.  1972 was the last year for the graphics of this timer.  In 1973 GE introduced a somewhat simpler timer face with bands of orange and a yellow-green, which they continued to use for quite a few years.  ...

12 CF top mount   $125 in Gulfport, MS   lawrence https://gulfport.craigslist.org/app/d/long-beach-refrigerator/7694628289.html

Very low-mileage pair.  I have to wonder if they cost $400 when they were new.   lawrence

My guess would be a (Lady) Kenmore portable.   lawrence

Jo Congratulations on getting the pair!  Glad to know that they're functioning.  It is "normal" for a Filter-flo to make a 'clunk' noise as agitation begins (both in wash and in rinse).  The brake can also be loud in time.  Otherwise the washer is fairly quiet as washers go.   I remember the...

Tim, We all  know what Charlie Brown would say - "I got a rock"   lawrence

She's beautiful Congratulations on your new ride!  She looks like someone took very good care of her all these years.   lawrence

Fairly well optioned pair in Louisville, KY.   $260 for the pair.   lawrence https://louisville.craigslist.org/app/d/louisville-ge-washer-and-dryer-set/7687822968.html

Reply #70 I believe the 1958 Edsel was the only year for the pushbutton transmission selector, located in the steering wheel hub.  The 1959 models used the more-conventional column shifter.  I suspect the later arrangement was less expensive and, as Edsels didn't sell like Ford was hoping, was...

Tom, This Viking pair is interesting in that it's the most fully-featured non-GE-badged GE product I've seen.  Both the washer and dryer have features unique to the GE badge only products (mini-basket, fluorescent lamp).  On the dryer, the description indicates that only the PP cycle includes a...

Well, If your offering were in perfect and pristine condition (i.e., just as new) and you found a buyer who has been looking for this exact item for his/her MCM kitchen, you could expect to get maybe a small fortune for it.   However, if your offering has problems and is less than pristine...

Here are the photos from the Sweets inserts for 1964, 1965 and 1966, in that order.  I apologize for the photo quality.   lawrence

The 1964 and 1965 Sweets insert both shows the WA-860Y.  The 1966 Sweets insert does not reference a model number; however, the illustration is identical to the 'Y' of the previous 2 years.   lawrence

Ken, I agree that this one is a WD-860.  The 1961 was a WD-860V, the WD-860W was offered in both 1962 and 1963.  Visually, it's identical to the WD-860Y, which was offered in 1964 and 1965.  I guess GE figured "if it ain't broke don't fix it."   lawrence

1963? Kow-A-Bunga!   lawrence

Jo, That's a nice washer and the matching dryer should be as well.  However, I think this washer is older than 1994.  It should be maybe 1985-1988 or 1989-ish.  Unless the seller is aware of problems, and they reportedly work fine, don't shy away from them.  I think parts should be available if...
