1956 models really did step up the console design game for Frigidaire. It began quite a run of excellent consoles for the brand. Did the agitator also change to the 'rubber rings' in '56?
I used to like the '58 console the best, but there are so many great ones---well into the 1960s. The clamshell console that closes is really awesome ('62 or '63 maybe?). |

1956 was the first year for the 3-ring pulsator. Also the first year for the light gray tub. First year for the lighted dial also. Would love to have a set of these machines. Bob |
