This week we have some fun vintage Whirlpool TV spots covering everything from washers to window A/Cs. This dates from around 1972 and had a terrible magenta-shift; I did what I could to try and pull a little color out.
1972 Whirlpool TV Commercials - 16mm Film

This is my favorite Whirlpool Commercial starting at 20:14-
I remember seeing some of them when I was in high school. Saw several familiar faces in these that I recognized from seeing in TV shows, but don't remember their names.
The ranges shown appear to have been WCI Kelvinator, as Whirlpool didn't have a range factory at that time. Some Kenmore models also were sourced from them for several years.
Too bad the color is so off, but I could still tell some of the appliances were Harvest Gold, and some Coppertone. I'm sure the color film used served the purpose, as the ads were only meant to run for a short time. Can't expect them to have used Technicolor. Even by the time I graduated HS in 1974, some of the Eastmancolor films we got into the AV department that were from the mid 1960s were already showing color shift. Even Hollywood studios have issues with that film process, but have the resources to deal with it.

Thank you for sharing another great video
Thank you for the video Corey...
Enough to make me want to make all of my appliances all-Whirlpool...
Whirlpool was what made that toll-free number known as the Cool-Line...

Looks like him to me. He didn't appear in any movies or TV shows until 1971, so he was probably just starting out acting then. The lady with short reddish hair in a couple of them looks like someone who was on Bewitched occasionally.
