I heard rumors that the coming thing in appliances will be a copper
looking color. I think it will be called "coppertone.' Other rumors are
that the next fad will be a yellowish color called "Harvest Gold". Who
knows. Larry

mmmmmm. . . I love guacamole-- do you think they'll ever come up with
a Guacamole colored appliance?

I remember looking at 1940's Popular Science/Mechanics magazines in
the 60's and thinking that we'd come a long way in the home decor
world in 20 years. Now, looking back, I like the 40's look better.

Magic Chef made a gas range in the thirties that was gorgeous....I'd
love to have one of those. I'm ready for a car with no
electronics...they are just junk that adds cost and complexity. I
replaced the window motors on my Buick once, and they are shot. Can't
go through the drive-through at the bank. My engine light comes on
because my speedometer doesn't work; my internal speedometer works
pretty well, within 1-2 mph :o)

Both my rear window on my LeSabre are held up with a piece of wood bracing.
The rest of the car is just falling apart too. I'll never buy another Buick
given my experience with the last two. The cruise control switch is held
"on" by jamming a toothpick next to the button.. Great car for a year or
so, but I expect more for $33,000.

They do have sour cream colored appliances so hang on, they just may do it
as soon as 1965 comes back.
