Here are the latest additions to my household. The 1965 set and the WO65 set came from Rich Craft who met me in Chicago twice to make the switch-what an incredible friend that is!! The 1960 Multimatic set is on loan from Scott who is moving to CA, and needed a good home to store his set. Also a good friend, I assured him they would be in good hands. Just goes to show you that there are still great washers and dryers out there to be found, but more importantly, generous friends who we are all blessed to have in our lives!

Changing looks
It is amazing how much the look changed from 51-65. I love the 1965 set as it was the one my Grandma had, but I think the 60 multimatic is just beautiful. Jimmy the 60 multimatic set are more glamorous wouldn't you agree? Scott I am glad you like the pics, although I will have to learn some tips about posting pics-sooo big!

Well Don, IMHO they were the most glamorous set of 1960! Hard to top the engineering design and top quality parts that went into these washers. | ||

Flip up lid The 1960 CI Frigidaire looks like they used two kinds of lid openings.I would guess flip up lid on earlier production models and then side opening later. | ||

Great pictures and find guys. Thanks for sharing! I love the 1960 WCI-60 model, it’s such a beautiful design. That model was my second Frigidaire washer find (about 9 years ago) and I so excited to have found it! I learned what it meant to have bad spin bearings on that machine and how satisfying it was to learn how to replace them and make the machine nearly silent. Ahhh memories.

I never ever thought I would ever see machines like this before I joined the club, not to mention have them in my home.My memories of Frigidaire began with the 1965 set, so anything prior to this was all new to me when I joined this group. My wish list is pretty complete now, although never say "never." I think my farewell to collecting mirrors Cher's farewell tour, it is going to take a while, and I leave the option open to "go back on the road" while still in retirement!!!!
