Ok heres the story I was working are call center a few months ago and this lady called in needing a pump for her washer, well they are NLA, I said dont let these go I know people who collect them I said let me know what you decide, well a few weeks go by and a get this call to come pick them up ok I only have tonight I leaving outta town in the morning. So after going to home to grab the truck I arrive not really knowing what I am picking up other than they have been setting in the same spot since 1963, I was like wow!!! Now I am not up on my Frigidaires of this era but I am sure there a keeper. well after balling out some water I go to disconect the hoses original I may add!!! and the valve breaks off in the wall from a nice rusty pipe!! So after this set back of fixing her plumbing I was able get these out of the room. Got these home and strated looking closer at the washer and figured out the reset button was out and she fired right up. well traveling for work etc I haven't been able to post these and others that have taken over my garage. So here they are.

I think....

those are probably taking up the most room in your garage right now and I understand you wanting to make more room since winter is coming. You probably want to get a car in that garage, right? Well I'll help you out and be right up to get these beautiful coppertone Frigidaires out of your way. Your car will thank you! (and I will too!)

Very nice machines and in such wonderful shape. The avocado Kenmore is one of my favorite models of theirs, too.
 
Oh Brent Buddy, I wish you were closer, sure you wouldn't like to come spend a few days in nice warm, sunny, Florida??? Terry

Hi
those are the best machines that Frigidaire made for that year. my mother bought them in white and we had them until 1985. I basically grew up with them. the dryer was the filtraitor because we could not vent out from the middle of the house. would love to have that set but CA is just too far away from you.
 
Congratulations on saving these Brett!! They look to be in very nice original condition. It so happens that this was my very first washer and dryer. (mine were white though) I had them until the late 1980's when the washer transmition bit the dust. Tried to get replacement parts but they were no longer available. I replaced the washer with a 1971 1-18, and used that machine with the 1963 dryer until about 2001. The control panels looked like they should light up, but mine never did. I think only the Imperials lit up, but not the Deluxe.
Have fun with those!

Hi Brett, thank you so much for those great pictures! Wonderful coppertone set, you don't see many of those.

Have you washed in the washer yet?
 
Sturdy..and Deluxe..with such style..what could possibly be nicer,

beautiful machines, well done for rescuing them, they are a statement of quality for sure,
thanks for the pics,
Denis
 
oh! OH!

Brett,
These are truly beautiful. As cool as the old Frigidaires were inside, this style is my all-time favorite from outside. When did they start the canted control panel? I'm sure I'd seen some with the previous generation three-ringer - '61 or 2 maybe?

I doubt the panel was lighted in a deLuxe, I think the reflection is due to the shiny aluminum panel above. And the dryer, I believe, had the round push-button to the left of the door. (and lint filter inside the door?)
Look like they're in nice condition, too. Look good in coppertone, by that time it was probably the most popular color other than white. Now we just need to find you a cap for that very rare agitator!

Robert, these deserve a permanent place on the site.
 
Another Multi-tragic!

Very nice set!

No lights on these, but still, what style for the laundry room! John in MD has a set of Custom Imperials (TOL) in his basement that are just breathtaking. By 1963, the 850 Rapidry feature was gone, too much trouble making the shifting fork and pulley system work for the high speed spin. 710 rpm was still impressive for any washer of it's time though...
