Interesting that it is so lacking in features/options - almost would make one think it's BOL. However, for all of it's plainness, it does have the magnetic door catch with step-on pedal.

This was the very first year of the ugly control panel design. There are at least two cycles on the timer. The thing that puzzles me is that the writing in the middle of the control panel says,"Clothes Conditioning Automatic Dryer" and I think that was reserved for models with auto dry which would make this a slightly older sibling to my mom's nicer looking GE dryer with the brushed aluminum and black control panel with the little gallery around the top. It had a push to start button, auto dry, a timed cycle with the Dewrinkle setting and the last ten minutes were the fluff cycle, tub light and door pedal. For regular sized loads, I love a GE dryer.

Another anomalous GE model and I've seen a couple of these out there.

 

Those comedians  down in Louisville were creating models by the seat of their pants. You're absolutely correct here; a BOL model like this normally wouldn't have been fitted with a door pedal and a magnetic latch which was a "step-up" feature. Although up to the middle Sixties, GE dryers had more pedals than handles, the two or three lowest models had a handle and an ordinary friction closure for the door. GE model lines always had a supreme TOL, but their BOL's were like calculus problems, they had many, many models that APPROACHED absolute BOL, but there was always one lurking out there that went even lower.
