 Has this machine been discussed before? I apologize if this was ever a POD but I don't remember seeing it. Was the "fluid drive" like the ones used on some early Automatic transmissions? Also, I don't ever remember seeing a washer in colored porcelain before in an early one of these Tide ads.

This is, I think, the Beam design from Webster City, IA. Other images of it are in the Zenith advertisement and the Marquette spec sheet. AMC (Associated Merchandising Corp) was a sourcing company contracted with by the listed independent department stores (competing with Sears/Wards/May Dept Stores/RH Macy) to provide them hardgoods and domestics (and potentially clothing staples). Similar in the grocery industry to Topco.

I've seen a few freezers made by Kelvinator with a AMC automotive script logo on them from the early 70's. When the chrome script circled the AMC from off of the tail of the C back to the lower left of the A. | ||

So are they singing YMCA, or AMCA? | ||

I belive you Bob but my friends mom in high school had an AMC freezer, and the script matched the AMC script on their AMC Ambassador. They bought the freezer from a local independant appliance dealer, not any department store. | ||
