1967 GE "Concepts" kitchen/laundry planner

In our last house we had that P-7 Double Oven. To this day it remains one of my favorites for even temps and fast preheating. The self clean feature worked flawlessly without overheating the kitchen. You could adjust it for however long you wanted it to clean. I found 2 hours usually did it.

That first GE dishwasher was also in the same house. It worked for us for three years before the bottom of the tub rusted through and dumped water into the running motor. But that DW was at least 20 something years old when it did that.

Thanks, very nice photo spread from 'back then'. Anybody remember "Medallion Homes"? They built entire subdivisions like that, all electric. Like it was a feature. Any idea what it costs today to heat water and air in a mild winter? Howzbout $350 a month for 800 sq ft. That's what I pay and DFW's rates aren't "the worst" and our winters aren't either.

I think John is right; this is probably "Sunny Yellow" and not Harvest Gold. There is no shading evident in the photos and I think I remember a 1968 GE ad regaling the new color. At any rate, I can't wait to get my hands on a 1967 GE Full Product Line catalog. 1967 was a transitional year and a lot of things were introduced that year; some were developed into familiar designs, some were dropped altogether. I think this was the only year that GE had a  black Bakelite straight-6 activator. In 1968 I think it became green polypropylene.
