Wow!
If anyone buys the cabinets but doesn't want the dishwasher (hey, it could happen!) give me a shout! I'm willing to drive to Maryland for that!!

If the buyer doesn't want the guy in the blue shirt...
It's interesting that the dishwasher is still there but the oven has been replaced. Wonder if the dishwasher does indeed work - and hold water!

Hmmm.....
Maybe one could negociate a deal for both the guy and the dishwasher... lol
I'm guessing it's a mid-60's model that may have replaced a pull-out model.

Noo. the guy looking at the oven appears to be an early 60's model, the guy in the blue shirt definitely a late 70's, early 80's model
Yes that is a replacement dishwasher for original roll-out one and the cooktop is a replacement too!!

looks like the cooktop has been replaced too
There are knob controls on the left front side of it and there are buttons in front. So none of the appliances are original :-(

Well ken, some queens prefer pink overr any other color. That's the only way I can say it. It's the most "50s-ish" color of them all.
I suppose that must be the case!
I remember years and years ago my mom's sister moved into a house with all pink appliances and just loved it, my mother and grandmother on the other hand both detested pink appliances and told my aunt that it looked like somebody had painted all the appliances with Pepto-Bismol.
My aunt wasn't very impressed...

...Pink was kind of a tricky colour. A lot of women liked it, but sometimes their husbands objected. Builders didn't put pink in new houses as often as they did turquoise and yallow, because of spousal override concerns; a hubby saying "No" could kill a sale that was otherwise ready to go. OTOH, there were husbands who bought pink for wives because they were trying to please their spouses, so it could work either way.
The problem for guys with pink was that a lot of midcentury houses had open-plan kitchens, visible from other rooms. But again, there were marriages where the wife got her way, big-time. I remember one of our neighbours' houses, where the appliances were pink, and the master bedroom was done up in a mega-feminine lavender shade Ms. Johnston proudly told visitors was called Tahiti Orchid. There were white sheer priscilla curtains, and a ruffled, tiered bedspread to match; carpet was lavender-and-white shag. Mr. Johnston was lead service technician at a local Chevrolet dealer, and you never saw him out of coveralls unless it was Sunday.
I think the moral of that story is: Never try to figure out someone else's marriage, LOL.

Pink is a fine colour for appliances, but turquoise rules!!

I think this should say "GE kitchen in stainless steel, plus pink cabinets!" I see no pank appliances here...
...though the ones that are there sure are pretty!
