The Bison makes me do a double take every single time. It looks sinister. Makes me think of the robot Maximilian from the old movie "The Black Hole" I could totally see it cranking up by itself in the middle of the night and terrorizing the house.
Here's one I found online of the Ultralux LX with crinkled finish. There were also several posted by members here. I assume they switched maybe in the second year of the LX and then kept the same finish for the Classic?

This was by far the best condition vacuum I’ve ever bought on eBay especially for the price. With one exception: inside was a full bag and I mean FULL. Why on earth would someone not take five seconds and remove the dirty bag before shipping a vac to someone? I spent a little time Saturday...

Took a while for USPS to get it to me I guess because of COVID and Memorial Day but waiting for me on the porch when I got home from disc golf was the newest member of the family. Lurking in the background are a couple of friends waiting to say “Hi”. All I need now is the gold bag with Kirby...
