Boy seeing that picture of the Ford van brought back memories of the 1970 and 1974 Fords that I drove for two different service companies. The all drum brakes on these vans were so bad you never knew what lane would end up in when you had to make a hard stop. It may be the reason that I have never had a Ford product since. When Jeff and I started our own company in 1978 we bought two used 1974 dodge vans mainly because they had front disk brakes and they had a much smaller more economical 6 cylinder engine than Ford. Since then we have had 10 more Dodge vans and still have 6 of these on the road.

In the brown scheme ! :) The fan on this stove removes air from the top and mid section and has a fairly high CFM which is great for cooking. |

Those are some really awesome scans! I'd love to see them bring back the filter-flo and mini basket in the GE washers. Unfortunately, it probably won't ever happen. I don't know though, they say that everything comes back, eventually. |

Enjoyed looking at this - thanks for sharing it. Didn't see any of the 40" ranges, nor bottom freezer refrigerators. I'm rather certain they were still making them as my cousins got a GE B.F. fridge in Coppertone in late '73. |

There were very few bottom-freezer models offered in 1972 ( I remember one model only. It had no icemaker and very few features. They weren't popular during these years); I remember this because my parents would have preferred one to the top-freezer model they bought around this time. They were much more invested in "Side by Sides" during this era. These "portfolio" catalogs NEVER listed the complete GE line. There were several models of 40" stoves at the time. The stove pictured below was a wonderful TOL with all the features of the other TOL's. Again, GE was much more interested in selling new customers their "Hi-Lo" double oven ranges but they were smart enough to cover their bases for replacement stove customers. Also, you may have noticed there was a color photo of a top-loading portable inside the cover but no portable dishwashers were featured in the catalog. Portable sales were beginning to ebb as more and more customers were either building first time kitchens or remodeling existing kitchens with built-ins. These brochures were designed for builders and were used in the Sweet's catalogs. |

For some reason that only the designers in Louisville knew, they only offered a perfect dryer match for the programmed washer in 1968. Maybe they were trying to market the big-door dryer as a mate to many other models, but the 1968 TOL pair were particularly well matched and designed. IIRC they were the only vintage that offered controls on the panel that were translucent so that when the panel light was on, all of the text surrounding the buttons and dials were illuminated and very easy to see and read. Nice vintage even if this was a year with a Straight-6. |
