Because General Motors was primarily an automobile manufacturer, I'd say yes. | ||

 Is that a stretch? Are they trying to reference automobiles? what?Text at bottom of the ad says "Frigidaire. Home Environment Division of General Motors." You're not aware that General Motors owned Frigidaire for many years, until selling it to White Consolidated Industries in 1979? Kelvinator was once part of Nash Motor Company, then American Motors. Philco was once owned by Ford Motor Company. Maytag laundry was an offshoot of a farm implement manufacturer. | ||

Electrolux USA was once owned by Consolidated Foods....
yes, I am aware that these appliance manufactures may have been owned by some other company but, to tell the appliance buying public as if they'd care, especially given the shoddy quality of GM back then, even trying to make it part of an ad? Was GM so full of themselves back then that they thought the world revolved around their idea of a car culture that everyone would get such a pointless reference? | ||

I don't know. They look like a Ford family.

At least they had better taste than Norge which had the teen's Johnson showing through his wet briefs for their large capacity washer. | ||

The infamous men's underwear ad? The Norge ad was from the 60s, if memory serves me correct and if it does not Appnut, who family was unfortunate enough to have Norge laundry appliances, will let us know. | ||

Other Norge and Frigidaire laundry avenues...
I like that Norge washer ad, which too bad is probably only appropriate for Dirty Laundry to be discussing in, and I have to crop out and edit a lot so only the washer is showing there if I want to put it on my Facebook page, or have it in my photo gallery to show at work, of which the family around these machines is just too corny...
Otherwise, I like the Frigidaire catalog of machines, or the ad showing the choice between the rapid-dry and whatever the other model is... Thee are a few other Norge ads too... -- Dave | ||
