    Electrolux Economy Models

    The L was the only Economy model I ever added to my collection. One beautiful hammertone factory rebuild from the late Toby Glenn and a Franken-Lux L in blue with a bronze cordwinder and a bojack hose out in the garage for cleaning out the car. So nice and lightweight for the exact same...
