I believe American Household bought Coleman in 98, after a period of decline at Coleman. Jarden later bought the whole works, American Household, including Coleman, etc, out of bankruptcy proceedings.
My Coleman 5000ER was bought in the early 90's, but it was clear there were problems even then. Many of the units were DOA at the store, many failed with low hours. Design was poor- I literally could not find anyone willing to work on them. They were viewed as disposable. Also, something about a tapered spline shaft or some such made the engine of limited value. I gave it to some guy who made a go cart out of it.
P.S.- I know LaPlace. I grew up in NOLA.
