HOLY MACKEREL!
These appear to be clones of the machines I got for Kevin a year or two ago from Arizona. WOW! Right down to the color. His were in a snow-bird's cottage too.
These are standard tub machines. In 1968, WP was building large capacity machines, but until 1974 or so, they were special, one model in the line type things for custom needs. I know that some large cap. models sold in good volume, but it was the mid 1970s before WP and Kenmore had matching dryers and multiple models in line from BOL to TOL all in this capacity. These machines look really nice! Gordon | ||

I don't like the woodgrain. It looks like it's just tacked on and not of a high quality contact paper to begin with. IMHO, it makes great looking machines look cheap. | ||

1968 IMPERIAL MARK 12 PAIR Wow another pair of these turned up, these would also be a dream pair for me. I do have the gas dryer in coppertone with wood overlays already so the washer would suffice. The real simulated wood paneling was a one year thing only on the TOL Mark 12 pair. The machines were sold in white, avocado and edged coppertone, Harvest gold did not make its appearance till 1969, at least in WP laundry products. This washer and dryer were designed so the consumer could replace the 1/4" thick wood paneling with something else to match them to your home decor. | ||

No problems with the door on the dryer Kevin, it does remind me of the old Ford SW tailgates though! Oh! BTW, we should see how close the serial numbers are on our units. | ||

FYI everyone -
I am fairly sure there is another Mark XII machine in white in Kenny/Goatfarmer's post about the $25 gold Maytag. He shows several other Craigslist ads, including one for a $95 Whirlpool. I'd say that one is either from a year before or the year after these. No Estate Wagon accents on it. Gordon | ||
