I also have the entire series of Bewitched on DVD and the last two season when the kitchen was remodeled I clearly remember Samatha standing infront of a center dial maytag dryer while trying to conger her mother. I will also study my dvd's and today too.

Yesterday I told everyone that I was picking up an avocado green dryer today. Weelll, not so much. My wife got to look at it this morning and the exterior is in pretty rough shape. Yes, it works. But, I am after gently used avocado green appliances. Besides, I am having my newer ones painted avocado green in a few weeks.
Looks like we found a few Bewitched/ EM fans. Me too!

Chevy Caprice & Ford Falcon Convertible
Thank you Vern for your reply about the name "Caprice". Also thanks to Patrick for his photo of the Falcon Convertible, proving me wrong once again! I visit friends in Vienna, Ashburn, and Leesburg ,VA! I'd love to meet Waher/Dryer collectors some day...

No problem Jason! I was glad to have helped. Although it would be nice if someone could verify which of the 2 stories is true lol.

I never knew Pontiac did that with their cars in Canada. I knew that you often found Chevrolet engines in Pontiacs in Canada. Once saw a I think Le Mans with a 327 engine in it in Toronto.
I knew the car in the Bewitched episode I mentioned was a huge Pontiac, that's why I thought it was a Parisianne. But since it was Massachusetts, it had to be a Bonneville.

It's true for a very long time Canadian Pontiacs were...
Chevies in Pontiac drag. As a matter of fact the Canadian Pontiac's first automatic transmission was Powerglide Drive not Hydra Matic Drive and it was first offered in 1951 versus Hyrda Matic being first offered on 1948 US Pontiac's....PAT COFFEY

Zenith too.
Drewz is right, all electronics were Zenith.
It always surprised me how many times they updated that TV in the living room!

Canadian Pontiacs
As a Canadian and a car buff, I know all about Pontiacs in my childhood. As some truthfully mentioned, the full-size Pontiacs were Chevys under the skin. The exterior and instrument panel was Pontiac (with Chevy steering wheel and seats), but the chassis, engines and trannys were Chevys (ie 6 and small block V8, Powerglide). One giveaway is the wipers - the Canadian Pontiacs had Chevy's parallel-action wipers, instead of the symetrical-action ones on the American models. And the models paralleled the Chevys:
Caprice - Grand Parisienne
Impala SS - Parisienne 2+2
Impala - Parisienne
Bel Air - Laurentian
Biscayne - Strato Chief
Also, we didn't have the actual mid-size Pontiacs in Canada in the '60s. Instead, we had Beaumont, which was marketed as a separate make sold by Pontiac. This car was actually a Chevelle with a Pontiac-style grill and a LeMans instrument panel. And Pontiac sold another "make" called Acadian, which was virtually identical to the Chevy II.
Firebird was the first real Pontiac to come to Canada, then the Pontiac mid-sizers came over in '70, knocking off Beaumont. Then Ventura II came over in '72, without the "II" on the Canadian nameplate, knocking off Acadian. The name was resurrected as a Chevette twin. Astre was introduced here first, in '73, which was a Vega with a Pontiac grill divider and steering wheel. Pontiac gradually became more American as time went on. But as you can see, we may not miss Pontiacs as much as the US may, because we still have Chevys.
My family had a blue '66 Strato Chief coupe, with an inline 6 and Powerglide. It was a pillared coupe, just like the Biscayne. It sounded like a sewing machine at idle.
I know this is not the forum for cars, but I'm just answering the questions asked here.
