Oh my, I remember those from the late 80s and early 90s. I always wanted one of those to go with our blue and white shop vac, but was always denied as my grandmother owned a pair of Rinse N Vacs at the time which we used for free
Well, my most favrite Hoover
is my grandmothers Convertible 1020 pictured below, it is the vacuum I fell in love with asa little tyke in about 1987.
Another favorite is my model 64 Citation which is pictured at left of the 1020
For me it would be:
Hoover 150 ensemble
Hoover Convertible 68 all original
Hoover Convertible 704-01
Any Penncrest/JCPenney badged Hoovers, especially the cord reel uprights
would do almost anything to have a NIB metal base Convertible
would love an early Convertible tool set with the ultraflex...
Yes, John I cameacross the JCPenney Decade, and it happened to be from the same lineup as my vault JCPenney Concept. I was the highest bidder until 20 seconds remaining and I couldnt get another bid in in time, I was so close to having it.
Sam
yes, the hood is a replacement.
The correct hood would be the same or very similar shade of green like a 1020 hood, and on the 1010 it didnt have the dark rectangle with Convertible, it simply said Convertible in small seal griege letters
OMG, that Kenmore Lifestyle upright is the exact same one my mother got around the time I was born in 1986, we only had it for 3 years. I have been searching for one of those for years, below is a pic of me using it.
Nice find
