I can be SURE that this is the front loader version of the Westy that was at Greg's house at convention.

I agree.. and nice machines they are.
Were Westinghouse really that awful before WCI?
Grandpa's Westy fridge with push-button hot gas defrost never wore out. It was in servcce from 1953 to 1993+/-. Got rid of it for other reasons. It was still mechanically sound!
LOVE the hippied-out mu-mu Pearl has on.

I had one of these in the early 80's ( slightly updated from what Pearl is showing) and It was a great machine, washed beautifully, never got out of balance and lasted well into the 90's with only 1 small minor repair. Westinghouse didn't go down hill until WCI took over. Until then Westinghouse had a strong, reiliable product.

I had the same set from 1979 to 1985, only it was in harvest gold. I sold the set to a friend when I moved in 1985, and she's still using it! I remember the magazine ad, and the TV commercial with Ms. Baily. I also remember that Mrs. Columbo had this set.

Text, Anyone?
Why isn't there any text to go with the advert? With that look on Ms. Bailey's face, I would wonder what she is trying to say!

I still remember Pearly's Westinghouse tv commercials (honey/darlin')
Pearl Bailey - a great soul
When I was a kid back in Iowa I remember that an Amtrak train that Pearl was on derailed. No one was hurt, but they had to take everyone off the train and put them up in a gym or something. None of the ladies had a change of clothes, so Pearl went to the local K-Mart and bought them all sweatsuits or something like that.
I didn't know that she advertised for Westinghouse. Those would have been great ads!

Fabulous ad! Check out bambootrading.com There's a 1976 ad of Pearle doing a White-Westinghouse ad for ranges. Never knew the slogan was "We build 'em like we used to". I think that was one of the best pic of the days we've had - great job!
