These ABC appliances from 1960, tied to American Motors - are they Kelvinator clones?

I believe it's the reverse ... Kelvinator got the mechanism from ABC?
Wkipedia - Altorfer Bros. Company
ABC
I wonder if ABC stayed in business and kept their production going if they would have made a bigger washer a 1/18

1960 ABC O-Matic washers and dryers, etc.
Kelvinator was wholly owned by American motors by this time, and the ABC name as well.
This was just a Kelvinator/American motors, trying to market machines under another brand name to independently owned appliance dealers.
The ABC line wasn’t quite as fully featured as the Kelvinator line, this was probably the last time the ABC name was seen on laundry appliances.

Wasn't 1960 also the last year that the ABC line was offered?
Paul, the 1972 edition of the Home Appliance Blue Book shows 1964 as the last year for ABC Washers and Dryers so you're close.
