Custom Imperials Together Again!

[leefree]

Gorgeous!

 

[sambootoo]

Ditto what everyone else has said! That's a beautiful laundry pair in a beautiful kitchen. I'd say your appliances are all lucky to have you!

Beautiful. I would love to have that washer. I already have the dryer in pink. But of course, the turquoise is gorgeous.

 

[classiccaprice]

Beautiful!

So question, how did Westinghouse and Frigidaire get by making Custom Imperials at the same time? I just picked up a Westy Custom Imperial Dryer at the Auction in PA.

question, how did Westinghouse and Frigidaire get by making Custom Imperials at the same time? I just picked up a Westy Custom Imperial Dryer at the Auction in PA Because Trademark Law in the US states that the name or marks must be registered and used in order to enforced. I assume no-one bothered to registered the trademark.

Beautiful. I would love to have that washer. I already have the dryer in pink. But of course, the turquoise is gorgeous.
Let's put that to the test, you all can decide (I know some of the following pictures are blasphemous lol...

Definitely the turquoise! It first so well in your kitchen and that set is just beautiful too in that color.

Thanks for showing it in other colors though. It shows that coppertone is the most depressing colors of them all!

I like the charcoal myself.  And yes, I knew exactly where that the windowed lid came from.  I remember when you found that coin-op.  I think it was also at the 2001 wash-in.

Love the photoshopping...my two cent suggestions:
Metalic copper like a Kitchenaid, or Inka orange like a 70's BMW 1600.

Frigidaire

I like the turquoise the best!

 

[gyrafoam]

The Unimatic bowed-out with maximum style. The GM styling really comes through in the charcoal color. Reminds me of the 1958 Fleetwood Sixty-Special. I love my white one however, a yellow set is just gorgeous. In any event those are a beautiful turquoise pair. The best Filtramatic/Filtrator is one you can hook-up to a drain!

 

[spacepig]

That kitchen has got to be one of my favorites, ever! As for the w/d, my favorite is in the original turquoise. They fit perfectly with the decor.

Cut through the chase... You're Kitchen Rules.

perfect colors and amazingly so (not surprised)eclectic...

All your appliances are wonderful, my favorites and beautifully displayed.

Bravo.

When are you coming East again ?

I agree, Turquoise is the color for those--and to me, White seems to won over me for second--though Pink and Yellow tie for a toss-up, and if you're going to use Copper, it better be OLD AZTEC Copper, not the '60's-to-'70's-to trying to make it in the early-'80's Copper-TONE...

Best Color For The The 58 CI Pair

Charcoal,

best color in your kitchen Pink,

Most fun color #12 the SQ orange.

That looks awesome Robert! I wish I had more machines hooked-up, my basement would certainly benefit from the heat of a few Filtrators. It's hard to run plumbing for the washers and the and wiring for the dryers in my house and I haven't been able to do it yet. Hopefully, I'll get there eventually!

3 of my Filtrators are in the Laundry room at the back of the garage and two more in the recreation room downstairs.

Those machines looks very good in all those colors....except vamacado.
Amazing the industrial design superiority lost to time and/or whatever else.

 

[daveamkrayoguy]

Forgot about the Charcoal, so it goes somewhere--High-Up--in my rankings, too... (3rd, perhaps)

I would not do the '70's colors, no matter how fun it seems, though the Orange is novel...

Congratulations I will definitely enjoy seeing more on these finds!
