Well, it looks like last week’s film fizzled, so how about a crossover: classic television -and- Maytag. We’ve got a clip from the Today Show with Dave Garroway and Fred II touting Maytag’s automatic with Gyrafoam action. This was a kinescope print but transferred pretty well.

Thanks guys, I'm having a lot of fun scanning these!
Reply #3: Fizzled, only in terms of a conversation starter here at AW, though I did spam the link on a few FB groups this time which might account for views. I'll admit, it wasn't very laundry-centric, but I did learn something. I never realized the lower rack automatically extended on the '57 french-door ovens. Swestoyz informed me that was dropped for '58+. But, I've got something special in the works for next week that's sure to get tongues wagging around here! | ||

Thanks, Cory. Reminds me of a joke from the time: What do Maytag and the Soviet Union have in common? Millions of red agitators. | ||
