Interesting Maytag ad showing the various colors available at one point... Every machine a pictured has a current hot color...until we hit the BOL machine which is in boring white. Was white the only choice? Was it just chance? A thought that they needed one white machine? Or was it white to send a message it was the boring BOL machine?
A Maytag expert might know... I don't. But it's fun to speculate.
Sad thing, but actually I think white might be a better color...at least to my eyes. |

My mother's first washer she and my dad bought when they married in 1966 was white but otherwise an A207. It had hot, warm, cold and large, med, and small buttons. It said "automatic washer" in one of the slots that held buttons for more features on the upper models. It survived 2 kids in cloth diapers and lasted 16 years until it began leaking oil. She replaced it with a GE filterflo in 1982.
