It only took 14 years..... To go from this, to this. It is a cabinet from a 1958 Norge Timeline, that was rescued from a junkyard after 40 years. Kenny and I pulled this out of an abandon junkyard in the spring of 2006. (how much the world has changed since then.....) The washer took 2 other scrap machines to complete, and the mechanical part of the machine has been finished for at least 5 years. Was just waiting for the cabinet repair to be done.

Thank you for the nice comments! This cabinet was only painted yesterday morning. My friend, Tim brought that parts over to my house this morning. It is all down the basement now. I am going to wait a week or so for the paint to harden, before putting this all back together. This machine is a very cool looking 1950's example of MCM styling. The colour is actually 1961 Oldsmobile red! The paint is over 20 years old, but it is still good. And I still have 3/4 of a gallon can left over...

My aunt and uncle had that Olds in plain white, but probably not as nice a model. By 1967 it was a total dog performance-wise. Of course, my dad was driving it since I was still too young, and it was being compared to our new silver '67 Delmont 88 with 425 engine, so there's that. We traded cars so the Delmont could be used for the bride and groom at my cousin's wedding. | ||

nice color and nice '61 Olds...
it's one of my favorite years though never found the right one! The car in the front of the '61 brochure is a 98 4 dr hardtop in that color. Should be a 394 with Slim Jim (not the best of GM trans). I've loved Olds forever and started the OCA Blue & Gray Chapter (PA and MD) in 1984. Still have a '69 Cutlass.
