That interior does not belong to the portable Penncrest.  It's clearly a KA machine built into a different kitchen.  Penncrest major appliances were usually rebadged GE's or Hotpoints, and that's what this one looks like.

 

I wonder why so many exterior and "money" shots on CL belong to two different machines.

That's a Mobile Maid, every inch of it. You can even see the little circle in the lid where the Power Shower would have gone had this been a TOL. The silverware basket looks a little different but that could have been added later. I'd guess it's circa 1962 when they discontinued the Petal Pink Plastisol and went to blue.

Ah, the glory days of JC Penney shopping.  I remember appliances at Penney's, but much later into the 70's.  I've seen so very few JCP appliances in the wild that it hardly seems like they sold them at all.

Hmmm... That silverware basket reminds me of a Hotpoint one for some reason.

That's more like it!

Hey Phil, I thought it was the seller who had posted the KA money shot!

 

It may be a GE/Hotpoint clone, but it's certainly an unusual machine based on the Penncrest badge.

Just from a collecting standpoint, if there's room, this would be worth taking home. I've never seen a Penncrest dishwasher in my searches.
