Very Nice Greg!
Now that looks like it could do some serious washing!
I'm starting to think you and Robert have contacted all the salvage companies around and have some sort of line on this stuff! I mean really guy's could you leave a few for us poor old souls! I'm kinda glad neither of you live very close. LOL!
I might stand a chance at getting my 55.

Greg! What a beautiful washer!!! Was there ever a dryer that matched this or were the dryers still ABC-OMatic? The control panel looks almost like the early Hotpoints (with the "Wonder Dial") Truely a treasure. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Mark

Never seen anything like it here on the east coast. I could look at it for hours. You certainly are a vintage appliance wizard.

As I recall from pictures/ads I've seen, the center part is a logo of some sort, not lit.
Thanks everyone for the congrats and interest in the new Kelvinator - it is fun to find exciting things and the best part is being able to share it with everyone.
The only lights on the panel are behind the temperature and cycle indicators and the flourescent light under the Kelvinator "hood". The center Kelvi crest isn't lit - just a little missing paint.

Fabulous Find! The Earliest Kelvinator Yet!
WOW, Greg thats beautiful!!! Congrats, where did you find him?

Ha - that's the best part, I found it at an estate sale that was literally across the street and a block north of the Launderall dealer we went to when you were here in August. He was a Kelvinator dealer after Launderall went down the drain. Now in my basement, this is the farthest this washer has travelled since it left the factory!
More good news - the word is out, three different people called me to tell me about this washer they saw at this sale...

Ohhhh...Drool........
What a beautiful find! I love the lights! And Kenmore is right that script looks just like the one on my '56 GE Filter Flo, I'll post apic so everyone can compare the two.
I can't wait to throw Roberts clothes in and turn it on with TIDE no less!! We can make a suds cake!
2005 is heating up already!
Bethann what 55 machine are you looking for? The Do All Dial model??

The 55 Frigidaire Uni in Robert's basement! In Sherwood Green!
Of course I would love to have pink! Has anyone ever seen a dryer or a washer in pink?

1955 Frigidaire Imperial Set in Pink
Hi Bethann, I have the 1957 Frigidaire Control Tower dryer in Pink and I would just die to find the matching '57 Washer in pink. But as for the 1955 Imperial, I have never seen the '55 Washer or Dryer in Pink. The Kansas State Historical Society museum has the 1956 Frigidaire Imperial set in Pink.

Are you sure Bob? I thought 55 was the first year for pink.

WOW GANSKI!!!!
That is just wonderful!
I love Kelvinators, and often watch the ABC o matic clips downloaded from the museum section of this site.
Maybe one day some one will have put the Aussie Orbital Kelvie out on the side of the road. Who knows where I would put it but it would be such a great day!

Thanks, but wait - there's more!
Come in June to see one (or two) live and in person! We'd love to have you arrrooohhh!!
I can't wait to see this machine in action but I need to finish some work on the 54 Speed Queen washer I started last week. I should be able to do some work on it this weekend so stay tuned!
