This makes THREE of these I've seen in the last 2 months. Seems like they must stay with their 1st owners a very long time before coming up on the used mkt--a good sign! French door units have been around since at least 1964, if not a few years before. These whirlpools date to late 70s-early 80s--nice units. I think Harvest Gold was available still circa 1983/4 if not a bit later.

My friend Glenna D. had a Sears Coldspot French door refrigerator that was purchased in late '66 or early '67. I can't verify it as my catalogs are at storage, but I think it was available in Turquoise in addition to White and Coppertone. |

I've always believed, the best way to shop for retro appliances is to peruse the nursing homes in your area, stop in and visit with the residents, and just ask them- "Bessy how are you doing today...... really. So I'll bet you have a beautiful kitchen and laundry at your home, don't you...... " and just see where the conversation takes you.
OR become a hearse chaser. Whip out the obituary section from your news paper (like they print those anymore), and do a little research. Find out where they lived, .... estate holder..... yahda, yahda.... If they plan to gut the house, that kind of thing.
Seriously, I wonder how many people do that. |
