Oh wow! Now that would be a dream set for me!

That's a very nice set!

I wish I could grab such nice machines in that color!  The mid-1960's Custom Imperial machines are my favorites. And yours happen to be in my favorite color too!

Did you take more pics of the cooktop, the oven and the fridge?  I'd be curious to see them! The parts I see of the cooktop and the fridge make them older than your 1965 laundry appliances. 

Tell your auction buddy to keep his eagle-eye open for anything else along these lines. 

I'm sure someone in our group would pay for this kind of high quality vintage!

Turquoise was still available in 1966 and 1967.

i have the same,exact dryer in electric. would love to have the same washer but with the window lid. Congrats on this fnd!Now,go take,that Rapidry Spin!

Bob,

Both the vented (Gas and Electric) and the non-vented Filtrator were identified as "Flowing Heat". My DDF-64 and DCIF-65 Filtrator dryers say so. I guess Frigidaire wanted buyers to know that the new type of Filtrator dryers (since 1961) was an air-flow model much like the Frost-Proof refrigerators of the time were "Flowing Cold" as they had a circulating fan.

My 1963 refrigerator.

The 1965 Filtrator dryer I got from John L. showing the same "Flowing-heat" on it's sprinkler door. 

The sprinkler door is hinged at the top:

My DDF-64 non-vented Filtrator dryer also says "flowing-heat". 

John, the "two levels" of Custom Imperial washer and dryers were the following year (1966). The 1966 WCIAK and DCIAK you have are the equivalent of the 1965 WI-65 and DI-65. In 1966, the dryer added the electronic sensor and the push button door opener was replaced by a door handle but they were about the same otherwise. 

There were variations of the 1965 Custom Imperial washers and dryers offered but these were suds-return vs non suds-return for the washer and non-vented electric, vented electric and gas for the dryer but they all had the dispenser doors, translucent plastic consoles and cabinet chrome trim strips. 

There were two Imperial washers offered in the US in 1965, the WIA-65 and WI-65. Both models had fluorescent lighted controls but aluminum control panels rather than plastic.  The WIA-65 didn't have any pushbuttons, lacked the "extra rinse" feature and Rapidry 1000 spin that the WI-65 and WCI-65 had.

The two versions of the Imperial offered for 1966 were lacking the fluorescent lighted control panel of the previous year's models and had incandescent lights for their timers like the previous year's Custom Deluxe. One model had the Rapidry 1000 and the automatic soak advance (the one you also have at the museum in white)-WIK, and another model lacking both features WIAK.

This is a partial view of your 1966 WIK.

and a GREAT SAVE as well! That Jetcone is mint and so is that tub! You'll finally have clean clothes with those!

And Greg is right "Amazing - just goes to show, there is a lot waiting for all of us, still lurking out there. "
