I’m not familiar with caloric appliances but, just based on the styling, I would guess the add to be 1953 – 1955. Packard débuted it’s Ultramatic transmission middle 1949 and experienced a couple of years of growing pains. It would be interesting to know how Caloric got away without someone screaming, “Copyright”. Also, why would they pick a name that was just recovering from a bad rap?
It’s interesting how styling follows themes through the years. The Caloric controls look a bit like my 52 Rambler American dash.
