POD...Questions...

Curious, was this the last year for slant front Westinghouse washers? Looks like they took a step or two backwards from the Program Computer model of a few years before! Seems like we see more of the earlier models functional on this site; quality go down in the 60's? Had a late 70's White-Westinghouse FL and dryer in a house I rented...meant to be stacked, but had been placed side by side. Seemed to wash fine, but the door was getting a bit rusty. An old lady had lived there for some years before me..probably didn't do much laundry.

hi wireman

Not sure about the last year for the westy labelled machine, but if IIRC the Wards signature machines made by westy, were of the square flat front style prior to 1963, Westy wanted to cling to that "trademark slant front design", I think many thought The slant front was easier to load and unload than the squared off front machine. I do not have one but always thought the slant front design was Nice. alr2903

Duane I believe the very last year of the slant-front was 1963 like today's POD.

This POD always makes me/us laugh. She still needs some dental work, after 43 years, I guess not enough quaters were collected. LOL
