I never knew that Bendix ever made any washer in any color except for white until now. John Lefever and I talking the other night and he told me that Bob in Cleveland had that washer in pink once, but neither one of us could ever remember seeing any Bendix, or Philco for that matter in any color but white. Great fun scans Greg, that is a georgous machine! Tom have you ever used one of the those early Gas Bendix Hi-Speed Dryers? I wonder if it was even faster than my 50AMP '57 Lady Kenmore dryer, it's an incredible dryer, its even faster than my GE Harmony dryer. |

Greg thanks for scanning this - I didn't realize Bendix offered colors on these machines also. I would guess this is about a 56? My Grandmother had a Bendix maybe a little earlier model. It had gray dials one at far left for load size and timer on right. In middle was hot / warm temps switch. I was always so excited to go and watch the machine run. Even though I like my LG nothing compares to the old action with a lot of water splashing around! Peter |

The "Super-Fast" gas and electric dryers were introduced in the Bendix line in 1956 and were the first of the more familiar Philco designs with the lint filter in the front below the door, behind the access panel - CR despised that) On a 50amp line the dryer ran at 8000 watts - heat on or heat off as Tom desicribed, no low setting. The Super-Fast gas dryers had 33,000 BTU input. And colors! Those were new for 1957 from Bendix. |

I also recall that the 1963 washer edition of CR rated the Miss America and mentioned that it came in pink, turquoise and copper brown. I will need to recheck that as it is a recollection. Imagine though actually finding one in color!!! |
