West Coast Washin (wash-in)

[rocky2]

Mike, all I can say is wow. What a great diverse collection you have. I like the flair range (have one myself) but I must say the Holly is just fantastic. I saw a picture of a GE Americana fridge in 60's kitchen book and thought that was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. I never imagined there would still be one around. In my opinion the late 50's and the 60's were pretty inovative and unique when it came to appliance design (my 2 cents). THanks for sharing.

Oh you guys must have had great fun. The GE and Kenmore machines a great looking and fun to play with. Did I see a '66 Toronado and a '67 Eldorado? What is under wraps above the Eldorado? Love those "wash-ins" never know who you will see or what you will find! -Steve

Fire hazard

RickR, tell me I'm not seeing the "verboten" white vinyl dryer ducting that everybddy warns against these days in that pic of the Filter-Flo?

New game room

Well, Mike, since you have the Flair range in there to make goodies on, now you need a vintage portable dishwasher so you don't have to schlep dirty dishes back to the main house to put in the dishwasher there! I vote for a Kenmore front loader with Roto Rack and a Butcher Block top. Those clean as well as a modern machine.

I'm BUSTED by the dryer hose police!! LOL

Well.... I changed that hose to a metal one last Saturday. However the plastic one had been in use since the 1980's. ):
One of those things I kept putting off. Guess I got lucky,no fires.

Thanks again!!

Happy Tuesday all,

Thanks again for all the kind words. I will take some pix of the 94 Filter Flo, last of its kind, in a few days.

I did the laundry last night, always fun to have all the machines going at once.

multiple washers draining

So did it turn out that your drain line could handle multiple machines draining at once? I remember you were worried that it would be an issue.

Great photos! Love the cars, stereos jukes,and that super Holly range, but most of all I like the colors you chose! Really makes things pop!
