Between the choice of white, ivory, or brown outlets, and the INFINITE variety of cover plates available, I'm sure you can come up with a satisfactory aesthetic solution
That's beautiful, gansky! I just can't believe how radically different the '56-59 machines were. The '59 control dial looks a bit like it could be on a Kenmore. I've never seen a '59 in person. Can you imagine one of today's manufacturers allowing for so many changes in design each year? It would never happen. Must have been an exciting time to work as a design engineer for Frigidaire...
I've said once before that the 50's and the 60's Frigidaire
laundry equipment were the best in design and built for quality them and also Westinghouse. When I was growing up it was considered that if you could afford a Frigidaire or Westinghouse and/or Norge and even Maytag you had the very best money could buy and were well off.
Sidebar question: Greg, I just noticed the box of Dash detergent on your well-stocked shelf. How old is that? It doesn't look like the vintage boxes I remember from my (blows dust off memory bank) youth.
That is some classy basement, Greg! You really know how to make those Frigidaires look drop dead gorgeous!
Wouldn't it be great if manufacturers could give their R&D folks and engineers a free rein to come up with exciting, innovative ideas? I say "bring back control towers and jet action!"
