At 55,I guess my sensitive side is really kicking in. I see washers/dryers here like those my parents had; the '55('56?) Whirlpools,'63 Frigidaires,'67 Lady Kenmores('900'). I operated the Frigidaires & Lady Kenmores.(Made my dad BUY the Lady Kenmores!) ANYWAY,these & nearly ALL the '55-'78 or so machines just bring back times/memories/feelings that are gone today. I know this is common amongst us 'machine heads',but lately seeing something like a '63 '700' KM running just makes me darn near 'break down' & pine for the great days when much more of America loved their American made 'marvels'. I'll still visit here & watch machines on youtube,can't stay away. My '96 KM '90s' still work good & are semi-cool,but are awful d#mn STERILE compared to BD 'Whirlmores' & others built with soul. Thanks to all who make this site possible.(and FUN!)

And even though I am from the younger generation, I almost wish I could have been around in a time when quality over quantity was a concern. These vintage appliances were built with pride and the fact that you can find 50 year old plus washers, dryers, and refrigerators, just shows how well they were made. I'm just glad I am able to collect and enjoy them yet.
