fake plastic wood grain is as popular
or even more abundant Now as it was then.
...but now the fake stuff is typically on the floor.

2nd Generation Whirlpool Compactor
From the mid 70s,
I would not call the design on the control panel fake wood grain, it is more of a fake granite etc.

That Whirlpool compactor has fake wood-grain on the entire top and both sides, so typical of the seventies through mid-eighties. Looks as if Whirlpool had someone standing at the end of the assembly line with a roll of woodgrained shelf-liner contact paper, ha.
I remember General Electric portable color TV's often had the entire cabinet molded in wood-grained look plastic. Looks better on a TV, which sometimes had a real wooden cabinet versus a metal appliance. fortunately, my '84 model GE Filter-Flo set had horrible wood-grained prints on the control panels.
Thank goodness that era has ended![this post was last edited: 12/22/2021-18:24]
