    Look what my wife bought me.......

    The Admiral Vacuum.... I believe that your very cool, and RARE vacuum was produced by The Clements Manufacturing Company, of Chicago Illinois. Clements also produced the more well known Cadillac brand of cleaner, as well as Packard and others. I'd date this early 1950's as their Cadillac...

    what vacuums do you use the most?

    When we moved recently.... I kinda decided that I needed a bulletproof that wasnt a collectable, or to me a rare machine. I bypassed anything that I knew did not have an ample supply of repair parts If one needed one. So I dredged out my old reliable Electrolux Golden J. I had bought a new...

    Singer/Westinghouse

    Would you say this model is the best and brightest of the &# Jimmy, yeah the banana yellow color was possibly the most wild out of all Singers Vacuums up to that point. The Following model which was black, cream and chrome/aluminum accents, which I believe MoparHemiPower has; was their final...
