Awesome ads! A neighbor had a '66 Coronado (branded a Wizard in the ad above) and it was quite a machine--a definite pig-snorting, tub-indexing, inexpensive wonder. I recall that it had a "partial fill" button that you'd push to stop filling and start agitation if you didn't require a full tub of water.

Thanks Louis and Pete

Great Scans.  Love the line in the Wizard ad  Lint Magnet "Protects against Fussy Husbands". Ah... The days of the era when "Men wore the Pants in the Family".

 

Question, Was ABC building machines for Kelvinator ?  Or did Kelvinator buy ABC ?

I love the vintage Hotpoint ads. Maybe one of those models will turn up in the future to keep Robert's 56 company!

Were these at one point GE made? The control panels and some features seem very early GE-like.

No those Wizards were made by Franklin if I am not mistaken.......which at the time the 1959 1962 and 1963 ads appeared was owned by Studebaker Corp (Studebaker dropped the Packard part of the name in 1962). PAT COFFEY
