Very nice tan G, a real sweetie! That color is fairly scarce these days, because it was only made for not even a year, as opposed to about seven years for the turquoise.
This model was the second vacuum cleaner my parents bought; I clearly remember the day I came home from school on a warm, sunny spring day in 1968 (when I was in the 6th grade) and I heard the sound of a vacuum cleaner running. I knew it was not Mama's old, battered E-Automatic because that sweeper made a distinctive hissing sound. Long story on that; suffice it to say that that poor vacuum had a long and difficult life due to my "experimenting" on it from the time I was about three years old.
Anyway, I followed the sound into my parents' bedroom and there was Mama, merrily vacuuming - almost dancing with it! - with a glistening new Electrolux Tan G! Turns out the Electrolux man had come while I was at school (which really pissed me off!) and he talked Mama and Daddy into getting a new vacuum. She was as happy as she could be to finally have a sweeper that she didn't have to drag around on its side because its wheels had been amputated!
Seeing the gleam in my eye, she glared at me, wagged her finger and sternly declared, "YOU keep your HANDS OFF!" Well, that didn't last long needless to say!
They did not get the power nozzle, thought it was "too expensive" and the house had mostly hardwood floors anyway, other than one large oval woven rug in the living room and some throw-rugs. I was still kinda mad that they didn't get a power nozzle, though!

Thanks also for the photo of the L bag cage. I have not looked at my Ls for quite a long time and forgot that they had this sort of perforated cage, which, yes, would be much more efficient than the single hole in the end. I am not sure when that variation came out but I know that both of my Silverados have it.
