Here's MY Christmas present

I nearly fainted when I saw this... Needless to say, I have already contacted the seller about the possibility of selling just the dishwasher. It may just have that unusual James-style roller-impeller. We shall see!!

Is that the "Quiet: Tappan at Work!" roller model??

Paul, OMG, is that the infamous Tappan tires-on-a-wet-freeway model?

*swoons*

That's so fantastic!!

Beauuuuuutiful Set

Hey Paul.
Good Luck on this one. I love the range as well as the set.

WOW! Can you imagine what a safety hazard that huge side swing oven door is? (The hinges for a side swing door are cheaper than the hinges and springs for a regular downward opening oven door.) It should come with elbow length oven gloves. I wonder how far you have to open it for broiling. At least if it heats it performs its function better than the dishwasher. Best of luck in acquiring your dream machine.

And did you notice they are "bearly" used? snicker snicker - these people must know their audience.

Brief update

Spoke to the person who posted the ad - he is selling the appliances for an old couple. He does not foresee a problem with selling just the dishwasher, but he says he will have to check with the owners first. Hell, if push comes to shove, I will buy the bunch - that Foodarama would make an excellent 2nd fridge in Ogden and my friend Julie (pinkgurl here on AWO) would likely find herself with a vintage pink drop-in range...
Stay tuned!!

That fridge makes it a whole lot easier to fall in love with pink!

They are beautiful - good luck on getting the dishwasher. It will be fun to see those pictures.

Tom, you're right about the range door. Hot-whacked buns every night for dinner!

Does anyone remember!!

The 60s Westinghouse wall oven with the swinging black glass door! My cousin had one and I actually liked it, it wasnt nearly as awkward as you might think.

LOL @ Westingman

Foodarama!

That's a 59-60 era 'Trimwall' Foodarama. Kelvinator finally jumped on the Sheer Look trend that Frigidaire introduced two years prior. The 55 to 58 Foodaramas are the old-style round body fridges. The 58 makes a vain attempt to look Sheer Look by the addition of slim vertical handles.

I have to say this Foodarama is super nice and I'd kill to have it!

Norgeway, yes I remember the westinghouse oven with the side hinged door. The home ec department had one in high school, its matched cooktop was in the island with a mirror over it for cooking demonstrations. I am glad someone else remembers them. alr2903
