ME TOOOO!!! Manoravenue (:
Please e mail me a set also. rick.reader2@verizon.net Thank you! I think the Whirlpool machines from the 1950's and early 1960's were just so cool looking! This one looks really nice with the white/gold/chrome and pink combination. One of my favorites. Does anyone know why the WP models changed to the "flat front' style cabinet in 1957. While Kenmore stayed with the "rounded front" style cabinet until 1960? (triva question of the day) (: Thank you, Rick | ||

Thank you George Thanks so much for the pics of the GE,Kenmore and WP washers. I particularly liked the 58 WP from what i could make out.I have to say though,i don't think i have seen a vintage washer i didn't like. | ||

WP cabinet changes to modern
I think you are right. Perhaps it was a way for WP to get an "edge" on Kenmore. Whatever the reason was,it makes it harder to "date" the Whirlpools. It is interesting to notice how WP started to move the controls all to the right side of the console by 1959. That move sort of "paved" the way for the console styling for the 1960's I had a beautiful 1961 Whirlpool and the console was set up this way also. I think they stuck with this console setup until 1969 or perhaps even later. The early ones were the coolest though! What year did they do away with the spring loaded lid,that opened with the lighted button on the front? Anyone know that one? Rick | ||

looks like 58 From the pictures that were posted,it seems like 58 was the last year for this feature.The first slant back control panel models that WP offered in the late 60's were nice also. | ||

1959 Whirlpool pictures I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures. Wish the purchase had gone through, but it's something to hope for in the new year. | ||
