Putting the older Ken Kart through its paces. . . .

kenkart

I remember the old Sears store in Green Bay. The appliances were in the basement.e I recall the day I went with my mom and we bought a pink Lady Kenmore wringer washer!Mom did not convert to a top load until I was out of the house. What a pile of work wash day was. That old pink never died, she sold it when she got the new one. Her prior Kenmore wringer never died either, that was given to a poor relative. Funny thing, she bought a GE top load and it died right after she did, it was only 3 years old, she was 59. That is why I stick with Kenmore products even though they ain't what they used to be.

I gave the brown one (w/o the cart)

to Mike Gravelin. I know you'll hate me, but, all of these were before my time. I arrived while Jackie was redoing The White House.

RE two Ken Karts!!!!

I have the older one also, but the green one is as hard to find as my pink one is, the green one is a 55.

I have the one that is between those two - green colour but the old top.

Kencarts

Kirbykid,Those are the earliest style but both are missing the rectangular tool rack(early-cloth pockets,later-elastic straps).Later,as seen above,they changed colors,bag lids & hose connection and lowered tank on frame with front wheel.Then the ALL NEW pink as above,then the flat square Vanguard,Horizon,etc types.
