Hi--I happened to see your collection of app. and thought you might be interested in a complete kitchen in Poppy Red. My Mom just passed away and we are going to update the kitchen in her house. There is an electric stove--matching poppy hood --dishwasher refrigerator--and ceiling light fixture. All are in excellant working condition and near mint condition. I have all the paperwork and books on when she bought them in 1977. I would only be interested in selling them as a lot. If interested please contact me with an offer , and I can send you pics. Thanks John

A very strange color...

But everything looks to be in 'tip-top' shape.

Thanks for the wonderful photos!

I hope my drool isn't apparent!

Now THAT is a shame.
I wish they were closer to here.

oooh child that color is blinding, but different!

Clean oven!

Wash arm "within" a wash-arm!!!! Dual closed detergent cups. Methinks this is my first view of a classic Frigidaire DW.

Thanks for posting this!

I would love it in my house!

 

[toggleswitch]

I like 'em flat!

Upper rack on DW a turn-off to me but unusual!
Look how low the sides of the lower rack are!

I have only seen ONE Frigidaire classic applaince in my area. I thought the brand was mostly southern. I saw the brand in Delaware, Carolinas, Florida, in my limited experience.

 

[exploder3211]

Me thinks it would be eaiser to load.. Love the funky wash arms.

Although i can't believe how clean her oven is..

 

[exploder3211]

Hey..

I wonder if he would sell those Dogs above the range hood??

I would pay $$ for them! Veyr Kitch!

THAT was the best dishwasher Frigidaire ever produced, the last rendition. Steve, it had dual cups because the Pots/Pans scrub period was the very first wash when set on the dial. You placed powder on the door for the P'nP cycle

A fraternity brother's parents had a weekend home near Hot Springs and we went there a couple of times. Had that exact same dishwasher. I remember it being quite quiet, pretty much only heard the surginhg/splashing of the water. And could hear the water pattern from the little spray arm too (GE had that design for a while too). I was never ever really impressed with Frigidaire dishwashers, but this one did impress me. Got rid of scambled egs and all sorts of stuff with that P'n'P cycle. And that rack deign held more than a BobLoad of dishware. If I had the $$$, I"d be having that entire appliance set up being sent here. That's my Frigidaire dream kitchen.

I remember....

Transitioning from the Hotpoint 40" stove with thinner coils to the thicker coils on the Frigidaire 30" (avocado green) stove. They took longer to heat up and cool down. They were different also in that they were infinite heats as opposed to the fixed heats of the Hotpoint. However, I really did miss the light-up colored 'piano-type' keys on the Hotpoint. Luckily the Hotpoint was moved to the basement and was still alive with a decicated line. I missed having one large and one small oven in the kitchen, but, gained a self-cleaning in its place.

That's my Frigidaire dream kitchen.

I won't forget you when I hit the lottery BIG! PROMISE.

 

[exploder3211]

CU never liked them at all

 

[appnut]

I'm humbled again Steve. Poppy was so rich and indicative of the Spanish/Moorish influence in houses at that period in time.

 

[toggleswitch]

Well, the FINANCIAL lottery. I have ALREADY hit the lottery, in other ways.

 

[appnut]

As Toggle himself would say, "OOOOO Chil'"!!!

Frigidaire

Was a very popular brand here in Connectiut. My father worked for many years for New Departure Hyatt Bearings which was a division of General Motors. They later relocated to Sandusky, Ohio.

He received a discount when he purchased any product bearing the General Motors name.

First is was a Frigidaire Rapidry 1000 in 1967(our first automatic washer, putting the Maytag Wringer washer to rest after 4 kids and many years of service). Then, a 30" avocado green stove and matching 'top mount' refrigerator, which was still in place when the house was sold in the early 90's.

Of course, a matching KA Superba avocado green dishwasher was my gift to the family, otherwise, it probably would have been a GM product.

You can't win if you don't play

You have to be in it to win it.....

What other State lottery sayings do we hear???

GM Frigidaire

The Frigidaire dishwasher was all I purchased until 1980, for a total of three. I bought the Custom Imperial with pushbuttons. They had the whirly gig on the bottom spray, a tower and a sprayer on top. The top rack was was amazing. You could put cereal bowls and cups on the side, stemware in the deeper parts and more bowls, saucers or glasses down the middle, depending on the day's usage. I was very happy with them, but cautioned by salemen to expect a five "wash" life and then performance to drop off there after. I bought a used portable for the bakery in 1984 that was 20 years old and it did a perfect job. I loved Frigidaire appliances.

Poppy Frigidaire's

The Poppy Frigidaire's were the most awsome color. My Aunt had a 1/18 poppy 1974 set and painted the basement wall to match it. The Frigidaire dishwasher came with her house it wasnt as nice as the above and was about a 1970 model in coppertone. Was noisey but the capacity was awsome even with the tower. What a great design. How did the one above stand up to cleaning? Hers did just a decent job. She wanted to do the kitchen appliances in poppy but it already had coppertone appliances. Their will never be anything made like them again.
