Wednesday's Daily Doctrine - It's Dishwasher Time!

[Unimatic1140]

These pacs are so fun to read. Talk about sales propaganda for Frigidaire spray tube dishwashers, lol! The one for the automatic washers is equally as fun.

The VIP-Vital Information Program packs were sent to Frigidaire dealers every year in the 60s to help educate them on all of the fancy features of GM Frigidaire appliances. Each pack contains information on a different Frigidaire appliance, this pack is for top and front loading Mobile Dishwashers, both GM and D&M manufacturered machines. They contain specs, data and beautiful graphics and images as well as plenty of information instructing dealers on what to say to help sell Frigidaire dishwashers to their customers.

Loved the literature

Just purchased my first daily doctrine. Loved the content! Thanks again for taking the time to do this.

Thanks William, glad you like it.

I used one of those machines for over 10 years, loved it. Now I'm giving it a well deserved rest for a while, but it will be back in the Kitchen sometime.

I really like my spin tube dishwashers too! I wish I had a Custom Imperial but my DeLuxe are fine.

And I also like my '65 D&M Super top loader but the dishes get a bit too hot after the drying cycle. Unlike the front loading dishwashers that got completely redesigned for 1965, the top loading models seem almost unchanged from the 1963 version, the only differences I saw on the Super model are the hose connectors and the wood grain strips (wood grain trim was also introduced on the refrigerator door handles in 1965) versus the 1963 embossed aluminum decorative strip (same theme as the refrigerator kick plates of 1963).

Here's a picture of my '65, it was bought new by friends of mine and not used much as they were just 3 at home. It's the very first GM Frigidaire appliance I remember seeing when I was 8 years old. I thought it was long gone when I inquired about it and they told me they still had it stored inside the now unused egg refrigerator in one of their farm buildings.
