1958 Frigidaire with a fake control panel? cool commercial

 

[lesto]

Rich's department stores in Atlanta sold AMC washers & dryers along with a few other items in the 1960's. We had an AMC window fan in the laundry room window. The washers operated very much like an Easy.

If you look closely you can see the oval badge on the front of the machine. This makes it a 1959 Imperial or Custom Imperial Frigidaire multi-matic with a faked control panel covering the real control panel.

Its funny that Tide used Frigidaire washers because as far as I know GM never packed any detergent in any of its automatic washers.

I hate to say it, but that console really is an ugly betty.

Could this have been a variation that was sent to another country?
Canadian Frigidaire, Jamaican Frigidaire, Portugese Frigidaire, etc.

WASHER CONSOLE

THE WASHER CONSOLE IS A FAKE AN ADVERTISING ITEM TO HIDE THE IDENTIFY OF THE WASHER isn't that obvious to everyone?

Think about it...Dayton is 50 miles up the road from Cincinnati, they can run up there to film on the Frigidaire production line very easily.

Was that the...

57 imperator that had to be recalled due to over-sudzing with the original free sample of "JonDash", hence the later batch with Tide??

Well I wouldnt have worked it out, looked like a good lifelike model to me!!

Oh Al, me thinks its the nearest we are going to get to seeing one in action, although when you do look the sudz cover the agi and the way its moving almost makes it looks like a Frigidaire...take a look and see what I mean!!
