Great restoration I am amazed at what you did to that Convertible! I have seen a lot of restorations on Vaccumland, but this, really cool. The body, the motor, and the modifications are all top of the line. I will be starting on a restoration of a Hoover model #29, and I'm going to use your...

Received model 63 Hello people; I got a model 63 from a friend of a friend. Its in bad shape, so it will take awhile to restore it. So, I am no longer looking for these models of Hoover. Regards,Jim

Thank you Robert, Damien and Fred. Very nice pdf, which I'll use as I am looking for either a model 29 or 62. I have an ad here (which I can not delete) asking to buy a Convertible, model 63 to 70. I have a bid on a model 29 thru eBay. Maybe it will go through maybe not. Anyway, thank you all. -Jim

I am looking for a Hoover Convertible model number 65 up to 70. This will be my 'daily driver' vacuum. Anybody have one you're thinking of selling? If it's in good condition, I will meet your price. My email address is: [email protected] Thanks, Jim
