For some reason, I find the cover offensive:

But then, when you get inside, you're greeted by an embarrassment of Avocado green:

and a bunch of truly retro kitchens that Doris, Donna, Debbie and Rock would feel truly at home in as they peer out through the picture windows at the craggy Pacific coast near Monterrey. 1967 looked like a unique year for GE appliances; there are things in here I've never seen.

I do believe this was the first year for Harvest Gold.

Ah yes, I'd build a 5000 dollar masonry arch for my stove and then stick a 200 dollar hood into it for crappy ventilation.

And who here remembers intercoms? We actually needed our system as it was most useful for screening people and letting them in the sets of front doors that protected us from the wilds of the lower East side. We were all in great shape during those years because our house was a 3-floor walk-up.

I want to find a set of these ovens.

I would still like to find matching 27" and a 24" ovens and put them side by side.

It's as if the designers in Louisville knew somehow that IKEA was coming soon.

and the classic washer/dryer combo (in what, to me, look like a cute little kitchen):

Interesting thing about this washer and dryer, I haven't ever seen one of them for real; I have seen the washer in another ad from that year. I'm wondering if these were prototypes that didn't make it to the selling floor. They are, in fact, the first models where the panel light is canopied and placed above the control panel to illuminate it (somebody finally got the message). I think this is also the year where the spiral ramp activator was shelved and they introduced the lousy straight-6 and the bigger mini-basket. But the previous year's TOL's had 7 cycle selections. Why would they step back? Cool looking machines and I would love to actually find a set.

All electric living. I think I will hire a private dick and hunt down Mrs. Eleanor Mellichamp. I have some questions for her.

Ken thanks for posting this fabulous catalog. What memories this brings back. That first GE SXS refrigerator was not even made by GE it was made by Franklin and it was not only a power hog [ you needed your own electrical substation to keep it running ] but it wasn't very durable, the only thing good about it was it actually used a WP ice-maker. GE didn't attempt to build thier own fully automatic IM till 1968 and they were never any good until they gave up and just copied WPs very successful design in 1985. Although the GEs did make A better shaped ice cube. Shaded harvest gold did not come out till 1969 or sometime in 1968 at the earliest, the yellows shown in this guide all appear to be the unshaded sunny yellows.

Doug GE still makes the 24" space maker DW, it basically has 1/2 of the usual top rack and even the taller front part is an inch or so shorter. It can be installed under a shallow sink with the drain in the back center if no disposer is used or with the drain opening in the left or right rear of the sink with a disposer if the sink is offset 6 or 8" from the RT or LT of the DW.  We still work in several buildings in DC that had this setup installed in the 1970s when they were converted to condos. It is always funny when they go to Sears and buy a new DW and the installer tries to install it where to old one was. This is usually when we get called and bring them a new GE SM or often just fix the old DW as the new GE SMers are now about $800.

Wow - what a cool brochure!   I wish I could go back in time... SIGH!

Harvest was introduced in 1967. Could it have been introduced on the 1968 line of appliances in the fall of 1967? PAT COFFEY

I think John is right; this is probably "Sunny Yellow" and not Harvest Gold. There is no shading evident in the photos and I think I remember a 1968 GE ad regaling the new color. At any rate, I can't wait to get my hands on a 1967 GE Full Product Line catalog. 1967 was a transitional year and a lot of things were introduced that year; some were developed into familiar designs, some were dropped altogether. I think this was the only year that GE had a  black Bakelite straight-6 activator. In 1968 I think it became green polypropylene.
