WOW!!!!!!!!
I can honestly say, I have NEVER seen a Hoover Convertible like that, EVER, so to me, it's RARE, GREAT find!!!!!!!! :D
I only WISH Thrift Store's around me had some Vintage Vacuum's like that, but Alas, they have none. :(

The Bag...
I thought you all would like to see, the ONLY Damage to my Model 65's Original 1957 Bag... ;)
Here it is, this is the ONLY Damage and I'm not Kidding about that either, which is INCREDIBLE to say the least!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeff and Alan...
I already found a Lens for my 65!!!!!!!! :D The Guy I Bought my 1020 from, Robert, found one in good shape for me, yup, not only did he find me a new Lens for my 1076, but when I told him all about my 65, he said he would look for a Lens and found me one, so HOPEFULLY, both...
THANKS Charles!!!!!!!! :D
Isn't it AMAZING how my Model 65 was made in 1957 and the ONLY thing's wrong with it, are a slightly Warped Hood and a missing Headlight Lens!!!!!!!! :D Even the Original 1957 Bag only has ONE Hole in it, that's all, so that right there, PROVES that they don't make...
OK Guys, I'm up now, I'm Awake, lol!
Yeah, it's true, I've been Asleep all this time, lol! I should actually be out trying to Rebuild my Car, after it was Stolen and Trashed a little over two Years ago, but right now, at this time, I think it may be a lost cause. :( Having SEVERE Depression...
Back of Bag Inflated...
Notice again, the UNIQUE size and shape of this 1957 Vinyl Bag, like for example, look how WIDE it is at the top, when other Convertible's have very Narrow, Small, Skinny Bag's you know... ;)
This one also has the very LOVELY Hoover Logo on the back side of the Bag as...

Close up of Hood...
As you can all see, the ONLY Part missing from my Model 65, which was the VERY FIRST Hoover Convertible EVER made BTW, is the Headlight Lens, a Part that is soon to be replaced, SOON to be replaced, VERY SOON... ;)
Also, there is a little bit of Warping to the Hood and...

Sorry I didn't Post about these when I got them or at least a little sooner, but not only have I been VERY Busy with things around the House, I have also been working on a few of my Vacs and well, Playing with my two new one's, lol, which I will show you all some Photos here now, but anyway, I'm...
That's why I haven't been using it or anything... ;)
Yeah Erick, because I knew WD-40 would not be Sufficient Lubricant, I only Ran it for a few Minutes, once with the Bag off and once with it on, that's all and honestly, my 1020 has been sitting on my new 1950's Buffet I found Thrifting ever...
ALL my Hoover Convertible's Spark to!!!!!!!! :p
Yup, ALL my Convertible's do it, especially the two Speed Models, when you engage the High Tool Speed you know, so I guess it was never anything to worry about at all then, I mean, all my other Convertible's look and Run like BRAND NEW almost...
Hey Charles!!!!!!!! :D
Ira is well, honestly, it's a LONG Story, so maybe someone else here can tell you about it, cuz after all that happened with him, I just don't wanna talk about it you know. :( He's not a Member of this Site or anything, just some LOSER on ebay you know, but if you really...
Thanks Jandolin!!!! :D
That makes me feel so much better about my Purchase you know, as Money is TIGHT, especially since I plan on a Vacation next Month, so you know... ;)
Really, if you think about it, I really only Paid $20 for this Model 65, as I did already have $80 in my Paypal Account...
THANKS Guys!!!!!!!! :D
WOW, I'm glad you both think so, cuz I wasn't sure you know and what with the Economy being so BAD right now, plus me being on Disability, I was a little FREAKED out about Buying it you know, especially since the people I Bought it from are sorta new on ebay to, but they...
Guys, was this a BAD idea, did I Pay too much Shipped for this, but when I saw it on ebay, I PANICKED, Contacted the Seller's and Bought it, as the 1957 Pink Convertible Model 65 is my all time FAVORITE Vacuum, my Dream Machine if you will, so you know...? :/ I mean, I'm 99% sure it's ALL...
