I wonder if in the 80s Maytag stopped making other colors other than almond and harvest gold. When ever I see this style MT panel the machine is either white, almond or the rare hg, like this one.
That Whirlpool dryer next to it looks even older. I'd guess late 60s/early 70s.

It’s a GA210 built in December 1980.
Believe it or not, Maytag continued to use harvest wheat into the first generation LAT models of the early 90's. I'm guessing it was a special order color. I had a picture of one on this site for sale about a decade or so back but can't locate it at the moment.

Maytag color surprise
I always thought harvest wheat died out with the 10 series models, yet here's an LAT dryer that proves that this theory was flawed. I wonder if it was a special order? http://cgi.ebay.com/Maytag-Washer-Dryer-50-00-for-Pair_W0QQitemZ320449633624QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Dryers?hash=item4a9c495d58

Those are sweet Dan. Thank-you. The lighting was just right for that pic.
I know GE and Kenmore made a few models in harvest gold into the early 90s.
See I wonder if Maytag still made avocado, coffee, and if they ever got into the dove gray and toast colors of the mid 80s.
Most brands were done with avocado and coffee by 1982 but obviously MT was making this style panel in 1980 yet I've never seen this panel style in coffee or avocado.
For that matter I can't remember seeing the previous crystal handled MTs of the late 70s in avocado or coffee. I wonder if they cut back on color offering before others did.
