are your washers modelled on american cars?

Hi folks!
After a few weeks of strolling down the american washer Highway, I remarked that there seems to be no difference between the design of the washers and the cars in every decade.
In the fourtys the nice, elegant Raymond Loewy design, in the mid fifties oppulent and overchromed dashboards and mint or pink cabinetts, in the nineties boring, mediocre white boxes!

What do you think?

You do have a point-

Particularly when a person contemplates GM's Frigidaire line and American Motors' Kelvinator.

Welcome to AutomaticWasher.org; I hope you stay around a while.

I always thought some 50s stoves has control panels like the dashboards of cars. But those old washers had just as much chrome and shiny knobs.

While it's not related to any auto manufacturer, Robert's '57 Pink Lady Kenmore closely resembles a 1950's automobile, IMHO. Just look at the controls, the console, and the little design on the front of the machine!
