Green Canadian Electrolux Models 87 and 89 were introduced in late 1967. In 1973 the Factory was re-tooled and the plastic bodied AP100 (and subsequent AP Series) went into production.
For all Canadian-made Electroluxes - up to the 2100 when production moved to the USA - you can determine the manufacture date from the Serial Number. For example, if it is an 89 - made from 1967 to 1973 - and the first number of the SN is 1, then the machine was made in 1971. Similarly, if the first number is 9 it indicates 1969.
Naturally one could purchase a new in box old stock 89 well into the 1970s as warehouse and dealership inventory was depleted. In 1984 an 89 was at least 11 years old.
