If it's not painted, then this isn't as funny as I thought...just doesn't look factory original.

The Only Things....
....That have been posted here more than that horror are the words "Automatic Washer." It keeps turning up like the proverbial bad penny. That is not to say that anyone is remiss for posting it here - the CL seller evidently lets one round of bad press die down for a few months before trying again.
The best thing I can say for that paint job is that it is undoubtedly a better one than Westinghouse put on it originally, which would not be hard to do. | ||

Thin Paint for Sure!!!! Westinghouse & Easy both were very thin with the paint.I dont know why my Laundromat doesnt have any rust,the paint is so thin and it was in a basement! Every Easy spin dryer Ive seen needs fresh paint,must have been because of the Korean War!Also Mixmasters at that time were the same way,crappy paint! | ||

Bobby:
1950s paint wasn't such a much anyway. I have to snicker when I see "restored" 1955 Chevys and T-Birds, because their lovingly applied modern paint jobs are closer to the paint on a 1955 Rolls than a Detroit product of the time. We had a 1956 Chevrolet One-Fifty in Twilight Turquoise, and the paint was one small step above tempera.
These days, when I'm repainting '50s collectibles - like the lids of my West Bend canisters - I get a much more accurate period look by using Rustoleum's Painter's Touch spray paint in the semi-gloss formula. This avoids the over-restored, too-glossy look of most paints today. I spray until wet, let dry briefly, spray again until wet and then let it dry well before using. Almost perfect, except that two coats make a visibly thicker paint layer than Corporate America applied to much of anything back then. | ||

Oh but the 58's were fast from what I've been reading, especially with the Golden Commando engine. It was almost too much. | ||
