1959 Whirlpool pictures
I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures. Wish the purchase had gone through, but it's something to hope for in the new year.

Hot Whirlpools!
Thanks for the pix-These really bring back memories of our neighbor's set. I believe theirs was purchased in the latter part of 1960. Same chrome cap on agitator. And the dryer had a window in the door with a small round doorpull. That set lasted well until the early 80's. The lady had been widowed in the meantime and remarried a man who had a larger home. He had Maytags (avocado 68's). What is ironic is that prior to purchasing the Whirlpools she bought a Maytag set. She wasn't happy with them; she used them a month, maybe less, and returned them to the dealer for a full refund! Sometimes what goes around comes around.

I wonder what the woman had against Maytags
But, it looks like she ended up having to deal with them anyway; she ran but she couldn't hide forever.
I had been able to snag the 1964 Whirlpool pair (I remember seeing those machines for sale brand new at a local discount department store back then) and the 1966 Whirlpool washer over the years, but I still regret that the purchase of the 1959 Imperial in the pictures fell through. Kind of wonder what made them switch for just the one year in styling for 1958, sort of like Pontiac abandoning the divided grill for 1960 only and then going back to it in '61. Who knows what prompts some of the styling changes.
