Kitchenaid Imperial Dishwasher model KDI-56

[imperiale1962]

Hi Everyone,

New to the site and have started picking up some antique appliances. I just bought a Kitchenaid Imperial (model KDI-56) dishwasher that was a portable but has been retrofitted for under cabinet. I am curious of the age. If someone might know what year it was produced, I would appreciate it. I can also post a pic and serial number if needed.

Thanks!
Mark

Thanks to both of you!

I kind of thought 68-71, so I'm glad you guys confirmed. The DW is in excellent condition, only used for holidays. I am redoing a mid-century house in Cleveland and all my appliances are or will be period accurate.
