Sadly neither one is a great idea for a daily driver, but the late 60s washer is going to be much easier to keep running than a 50s washer.
Automatic washers were not very well perfected in the mid 50s, and inspite of their high cost and cheap repair cost [ an in home service call only cost $6 ] very few gave even ten years of service before their owners junked them.
Another way to look at this question would be like comparing a 1955 Chrysler 300 to a 1967 Chrysler 300, you would have a much more difficult time keeping the 55 Chrysler running on a daily basis than the 67.
