1965 Philco Ford Washer...... That SURE looks like my Great-Grandmother's Washer, only hers also had the Temperature Selector. Interesting machine though..... Why don't this guy just go ahead and join the club???? This guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about when it comes to vintage washers.... --Charles-- | ||

That's Jimmy, "Filterflo" of AW.
I have not seen him post anything for quite awhile. He used to post here all the time. I bought a 1964 TOL Filterflo from him years ago. I was a great machine! I sold it to another member about 3 years ago, because I ran out of room. I don't have any of these machines anymore, but the GE pictured is the one I purchased from Jimmy.

hey! Rickr-in your pic is that Whirlpool to the left still around? That looks to be a twin to the Whirlpool we had when I was growing up. It made the most distinctive woo-woo agitation sound and had a beautiful chrome agitator cap. | ||

Rick, that's a beautiful pic. The lilac walls are a perf
other thread.
These washers are awesome. I got to operate Jimmy's TOL version in Canton. Interesting that it's called a Flex-o-wash. Shades of the Rotoflex, and like the roto-flex, it opens up the whole bottom of the tub for more clothing and great turnover. The wash action is among the most unusual ever invented. Wish a had a pic of Jimmy control panel. Too gobsmacked at the time by the agitator. | ||

PHILCO-FORD WASHER
Very neat rare collectable machine. The earlier solid tub version [ Philco Automagic] like Robert has were much more fun they had much better turn over. But when they went to the larger perforated tub style the turn over all but stopped with heavy loads. I had one in my laundry room for a year or so and when you put even a couple pair of jeans in it it would take the entire wash cycle to turn the load over even once. I basically used it to wash loads of socks and underwear and other small stuff. This may have been designed this way to reduce the tangling that the earlier models suffered with Frigidare did the same thing when they went from the three ring agitator to the jetcone agitator it reduced turn over but also greatly reduced tangling.

What a beauty! Fantastic looking machine! These Philco's are becoming so rare. I remember Jimmy had a beautiful top of the line Dexter with the same wash system! Had the black and red "agitator". It was a knock out! Jimmy where you at? Miss your post! Brent | ||

Yay for Jimmy! Great price for a great machine! This machine will run many years to come! Great offering. Who was the high bidder? I am sure it is someone from the club. Brent | ||

In that video I noticed the word "Contourfill". The font that is used on that is the same as I have seen on dashboards of Ford cars from the mid 60's era. And yes, that is very strange that the clothes are rolling over very nicely without the top of the agitator moving. First time I ever saw that. | ||

The font that is used on that is the same as I have seen on 
GM did the same thing. One of the most notable exchanges between divisions was the styling panel on the 1960 TOL Frigidaire ranges and refrigerators - exact same styling was using on the inset decor on the 1960 deVille and Series 62 cars. Fonts were also traded between Frigidaire and the car makes too.
To the new owner - enjoy your new Ford! Lovely machine. Ben | ||

That's it! Thanks for posting that picture! That is my grandparent's 1960 Frigidaire except it was white and the handle inserts were blue if memory serves. | ||
