Nice
It looks like a fun time. Who owns the Hoover Convertible grey Commercial vacuum? I want one, and haven't seen one in a long time. Is it all original? It appears to be. How far is your area from Portland, OR? Ron
Looks like the props department got it wrong in the '63 Jerry Lewis classic Who's Minding The Store. While the scene is a feast for the eyes for those of us who love vintage Hoover, it has an error. First, in the exploding vacuum scene a wealthy lady comes in with her (brand new looking) Hoover...
Fred,
Amazing! You are not afraid to get in there and make it shine! Wow! That 68 is incredible. Lucky find. I had one a long time ago, but no where near this condition used. Enjoy! Ron
Interesting
Well, it does retain vestiges to its American counterpart; Constellation handle, and hose of the era. However, the clips are a bit older, but maybe not. In all, foreign Hoover is always new and exciting to find.
You've GOT THE SPIRIT!
Great vacuum Fred. And, yes you indeed have a well-built display to say the least! Where is that neon sign from? Is it custom? I want one. Anyway, love the t-shirt too :) Ron
Communication poor
Sorry but I have not had the best time communicating with this guy. First, I understood that all plastic-based Convertibles were one price, then the Model 64 was going on ebay supposedly sometime, and never got an answer about when. Next, he has a picture of what appears to...
Price
Hi, I emailed you, and while you told me the model,you didn't say how much, and is it a current Guardsman? It looks so, but the picture is too dark. Please elaborate and I am interested, and can pay through Paypal. Thanks, Ron
Innovation
Interestingly, these were known as the Innovation in the US, and were made in the UK. I didn't know Hoover had such a wide range. I think they are quality machines, and the US ones are really quite rare, as they were very expensive new back in the early '90's.
