'66 Kenmore Set

This is for Mark, who asked for more pics of my 1966 Kenmore set. Another member on this site has the same set, same color. Of interest is the agitator, which is not Bakelite, but polypropylene. Unfortunately, I do not have the dryer hooked up so I couldn't show off its lighted console or drum. Enjoy!

1966 Kenmores

Beautiful machines Todd, MOL and up KMs and WPs during this time period were about the best performing laundry pairs the world had seen up to this point in time. It is easy to see why between WP and Sears models that WP was already dominating the home laundry market, they were like the General Motors of laundry appliances during this time.

 

I have the exact same pair of fully restored KMs here on the east coast that need a home if anyone is interested contact me, thanks John L.

1966 Kenmores

Todd,

Thanks for the extra shots of the machines! There's something about the styling of that era that I really like...

John L.,

Well, I'm not all that close to the east coast, but believe me, if I had the room for a more serious collection, I'd definitely be talking to you about your set and finding a trailer to drag behind me...

What happened to the coppertone Kenmores?

 

[washerlover]

Not to worry...

The coppertone '64 Kenmores are alive and well (just replaced the washer motor but now the machine is squealing a bit when kicking into spin -- suspect it's the spin tube). In addition to the laundry room, there is a hall indoor laundry closet for my "special" machines -- that's where the coppertone Kenmores live. And there are also hook ups in the garage where my 1-18's currently reside.

Beautiful 1964 Copper-Tone Pair

Nice pair Todd, nobody did the shaded Copper-Tone color as well as WP-KM, most other brands had too much contrast between the base color and the shading.
