John, these weren't Custom Imperials anymore! In 1979, the Custom Imperial line was downgraded to MOL, it didn't have features like extra-rinse or a lighted console like the previous year's model did.

 

The Elite was the new name for TOL Frigidaire appliances for the final GM year, and unfortunately, mostly associated with the WCI (White Consolidated Industries) stuff that came after! And the 1979 Elite had a new control panel but it had the same features as the previous year's WIC-A and still less features than the 1976 and older 3 speed WCI (I mean Washer Custom Imperial this time!) models like the one you have.

 

BTW, if you have a chance to email me some pictures of your Frigidaire washers (those you might sell and those that are not for sale!) I'd really enjoy to see them and maybe one of your '67 fridge with A.I.S. too!

 

Here's a set of 1979 Custom Imperials.

Phil you are correct I was calling it a CI because it was TOL, but I had forgotten that they stopped calling their TOL Custom Imperial.
