I don't know about Gibson Washers and 'mendacity' But I do remember 'mendacity' being uttered by one of the hottest pairs of man-lips in Hollywood when I was only a wee lad. Click the link to see. A true classic and Hollywood at its finest. CLICK HERE TO GO TO rapunzel's LINK | ||

A reflection of how people wanted MAJOR BRANDS in the Laundr
'Mendacity' aside, this Gibson washer (& dryer) was a continuing "genesis" of the WCI snatch-up of first, the Hamilton & Franklin brands, to Kelvinator (American Motors wanted to only build CARS) to Frigidaire (so General Motors could save its car line, or really just concentrate on it) to Westinghouse (though there was nothing wrong w/ the way it was building appliances w/o "White" added, but nothing else "right" about it 'with'), so Gibson's number was called... (While Philco/Ford pretty much disappeared...)

(American Motors wanted to only build CARS) Sorry Dave but that is not quite accurate. The reason AMC sold Kelvinator was because of how bad their cars of 1966-67 had done in the market. Thanks to Roy Abernathy ditching the George Romney niche market way of thinking and trying to make AMC part of what he saw as the Big "4", by 1968 AMC was very close to going belly up. AMC decided to sell Kelvinator even though it had always been a money maker, rather than spend the money they knew they would have to invest to keep Kelvinator competitive because they needed cash to keep the automobile part of the company going...PAT COFFEY | ||
