Pricey at $1375 but.... GORGEOUS!

1957? Stunning condition and a great origin story.

There was a recipe box promo of this range.

Beautiful!

Westinghouse had so many great designs... and especially in yellow and in such great condition! And the retractable cord is fun and can be handy... but can also over time be subject to the retractable mechanism sticking, which can leave you with a stray cord on your cook top!

Its a 58,

One is on Ebay in Ohio for 50,00 I talked them into selling me the griddle for my 59, Nothing bakes like a Westinghouse!

Those dials light up and in color

A real beauty, I saw a picture of Walter Cronkites house once and his then new kitchen had this same stove, shame its that ugly yellow, pink would be better, or their Mint Aqua as is was called..

My mom's friend Margaret had this range, but hers was white.

There is a movie titled "To Dance With the White Dog" that is filmed in Georgia, I believe, and there is a white version of this range in the kitchen. If you think about the control panels for the 58 TOL Laundromat and dryer, the L-110 and the D-110, you can see similarities in the styling.

Yes,,,,That Westinghouse

In the movie was a 58, one notch under this one, it had white knobs instead of the color lit clear ones and had no Roast Meter,,,I remember that movie well!

I just couldnt take

Baby shit yellow!!! My very LEAST favorite vintage color.

I think its more pastel than the usual b.s. yellow is!

 

[norgeway]

It is BUTI have to explain,,,

Our kitchen at home was the most vulgar yellow and I have always hated any yellow...I LOVE pink, turquoise, and Westinghouses Mint Aqua is geargeous!

How about "Caterpillar" Yellow-the color Cat equipment is usually painted.I kinda like it!Could it be "Harvest Gold?"

 

[tomturbomatic]

Way before Harvest Gold.
