Vintage Appliance Advertisements: Part Four

Wow Ultramatic!!

Thanks for all these threads and ads!! I love the two page Magnavox ad with the Kim Novak blonde and the unreal backgrounds. Also, I have two Capehart table radios without clocks, one red, one green. I have Shirley Jones' fancy chrome Sunbeam, and the 1962 Toastmaster. Thanks again for all these golden age memories!

The 1961 LK Combo, I do believe that was the first year of the slimmed-down 29" models.

In college I had a good friend that I used to spend some weekends at his parents house with. The first time I met his mother I almost fell over! She could have been Shirley Jones twin. The resemblance was amazing. She even wore the same hair style. This was when "The Partridge Family" was on so it was kind of surreal for me. She was also about the same age as Shirley Jones come to think of it.

I see the date on that Kelvinator washer advert is April of 78'. I never knew that Kelvinator made appliances that late. I always thought of them as a mid 50's brand that faded away around 1960 or so.

In appliance stores that I seemed to frequent (including the HUGE Polk Bros. of Chicago) I never saw any Kelvinator appliances. What kind of stores sold Kelvinator?

By 1978, Allen,

it was White Consolidated Industries, not real Kelvinator.

Louie- thank you for these interesting threads!

Around here (Central WI) in 1978, Kelvinator appliances were used by home builders as the appliances that came with a new home.  I had several relatives that built new homes at that time, and they all had them.  Needless to say, they weren't around long because of durability issues.

Kelvinator

I recently looked at a Kelvinator chest freezer when I was in Wasserstrom restaurant supply. Electrolux in still using the Kelvinator name for their line of commercial freezers and refrigerators.

Yep, I just went to their site.

Love the RCA Whirlpool IceMagic Ad.

I wonder if Whirlpool had the upper hand for awhile with having the first Ice Makers. Does anyone know how long it took for everyone else to follow in their footsteps. I am sure they had to come up with their own designs since Whirlpool had the patents on their system.
