I recently found really cool brochures for:
1960 Philco Automagic Washers, 1960 Philco Automagic Dryers, 1959 Philco Duomatic. I've just posted them to the Ephemera Library if anyone wants a copy. I've never seen in person or a picture of the all push-button 1960 Top of Line Philco washer and dryer before. It's super cool, love to find those!

1960 Philco W208
eBay suggested this photo as something I might be interested in the other day. What are the odds?

No, Avco had sold Bendix to Philco in 1956.
www.nytimes.com/1956/11/1... Philco never went bankrupt. Ford bought Philco because it had such a big defense electronics business. www.nytimes.com/1970/02/0... In any case, the purchase of Philco by Ford wasn't until December 11, 1961, so it had nothing to do with dropping the Bendix name over a year earlier. | ||

Okay, thanks, angus. You're always so good about these details!
On review, I was totally mixed up -- the 1959 Duomatic brochure just calls it a Philco Duomatic, but the 1960 brochures of the toploader and dryer do refer to Philco-Bendix and the badges have the smaller "Bendix" just as angus says. The dangers of posting late at night. And, no problem, Launderess, everybody who has ever posted has made mistakes. I certainly do! | ||
