"Joe Buck naked" I guess that's where the term "buck naked" comes from! ;)

I'm watching "Midnight Cowboy" on Flix, and I've just seen the laundromat scene. What model were those washers there?

Kenmore Dishwashers' 3-level Wash System Kenmore had just started their triple spray arms in 1976, replacing the Roto-Rack models.

This is the "Freedom-Maker" model, rated "Sears*Best".
