I've hunted around in archives up here even, and still cannot figure out how to determine a date of MFG. on a Constellation. I picked up a Constellation 454 today, and I'm *fairly* certain it is 1966 model year, however it has a very short serial number (4 digits), and my 1958 model 86 has 3-4 more. This isn't super vital that I know, but would still like to...the s/n as seen in pic is 3751. No other numbers or letters seem to have ever been there on the tag underneath. Is it also possible that this might've been a rebuild at some point and Hoover issued a new tag--seems like Kirby used to do that as well, if I'm not mistaken.
