I love the styling of the Whirlpool and Kenmore machines of the 1950's and early 1960's, and the 1957 model was one of the best looking ones! I think the pink cabinet with the white and gold control panel is a fantastic mix. Does anyone ou there have one of these in any colour?

Rick--- Do you still have that gorgeous photo of your Whirlpool in action? I know you've posted it before, but our family has grown quite a bit in the last couple of months. One more time, please; it's such a great shot!

My mother

Had that machine in white until 1968, when we moved. It wouldn't fill when it was hooked up in the new house. So my parents replaced it. Little did they know that it probably would have run another 20 years if they had fixed it.

I know this must be the one you refer to Eugene. This is the one someone called "art"

Rick was that T shirts that needed a wash? Or did you select colors to make eye candy for us. It's one of my favorites too, thanks for posting it again. Arthur

Gym clothes and underwear is all. I have always loved bright colours. I cannot ever wear red, and usually try to wear blue. What looks like red in the first pix, is really orange.

Hi guys ---- Ah! such schweeeeeeeet memories........

there was a huge response, and you, Rick, said that you couldn't believe how much interest people had in your gym shorts. Sexy and funny.

Stevie, is was either you or me, Baby, who pronounced it art. I think, me.

Someone more skillful than I should find the thread. Any time I attempt such a feat, I fail repeatedly and miserably.

LET US SPRAY; Rick, you are too funny, adding poetry to your art.

Now my turn: Who first christened that beautiful Surgilator, DARTH? Was it you Rick? I dunno
