It's a '59. Best year for GM across the board!!!

That's why it's more important than ever that we keep the gems of Detroit soldiering on. I've got an '88 Town Car with 133,000 miles and an '86 Continental 4-door bustleback. They ride beautifully, but getting certain parts is somewhat harder than their Cadillac counterparts from the late '80's.

And was there a video like this once upon a time for the PowerMax? Or the Concept One?

It doesn't even have the correct bag. Originally this model had a dust cup with a bag that had a 75th anniversary emblem on it.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hoover-Convertible-75Th-Anniversary-Vintage-Vacuum/124607709929?hash=item1d0332c2e9:g:M8wAAOSwVQhgNLdc

I would agree EXCEPT.... There was a DC-03 and there was a DC-3 plane, many of the venerable soldiers still flying today....

I have that model Concept.... A small detail but not unimportant to note somebody swapped out the cordwinder cover with one from the green U3105. That model never had the fleur de lis on the front.

OMG!!! You passed up a G.E. slim upright? I've been trying to find one for years. They are EXTREMELY rare. Did you see this at a thrift store or an antique store?

It could well be the - 1941 was the year of production. I have a Packard model 1939 upright and I always wondered if the model indicated the year it was made.

So I have an Air-Way question Maybe somebody knows. I have both models with the hinged back wheels (as shown) and the stationary aluminum rear wheel carriage. Which came first? Was there any particular advantage of hinged wheels? Personally I appreciate the uprights so much more than the...

I have an early 505 that my father rescued from the trash back in the mid '80's that does not have the belt lifter. Originally I thought it might be a 2C/3C or 4C but no, it is an early 505, so Charles is correct.

Thank you for clarifying that. For me, it happened about 10 years ago. I found a Riccar SupraLite RSL1A at a church rummage sale for $10. It is a dowdy machine, straight handle, foot switch, not even a swivel cord hook but it moves an impressive amount of air and does a nice job grooming the...

If I may be so bold, how does a Kirby G5 become a "Johnny Cash Special?"

That's definitely a 5 amp with the smaller fan. A great cleaner for sure.

Well true, but that is still no guarantee. Many times I put it a max bid I was SURE would not be outbid, only to get "sniped" anyway. EBay is cutthroat, and no more can you find vintage vacs at a "fair" price. This is surely a rarity, but the only one who will come out a winner is the seller.

Are Stan's Ohios safe in your collection? I love the YouTube video where he demonstrated them. A shame they stopped making uprights right around the Great Depression.

Well what do you know? The minions at TTI have unveiled a Hoovreck! Does it come with a 21 year warranty with free annual tune-ups? Really sad to see this is what has become of the Oreck XL21. I saw a blue Royal not too long ago that was a carbon copy of an Oreck. I think Royal is just...

I'd venture to guess ALL are for sale if (as Bob Barker so eloquently put it) "The Price is Right."

Perfect C101 I miss the Perfect C101 all-metal version. It's basically the same as the C103 just hammertone steel. I know they cost a bit more, but they were definitely more solid. Did they not sell well? I actually traded a Silverado to get one.

I too like the Slimlines. Years ago, Slimlines seemed to be everywhere, today they seem to be the rarest of the J bag style Hoover canisters. They were Hoover's value priced canister, and with their all steel construction they were definitely solidly built.

Can the webmaster please move this post to the marketplace section? Thanks
