Hoover 26 A close up, still looking fab at age 72.

Hoover 26 Look at that bag! Awesome!

Hoover 26 The converter has been inserted and we have lift off!

Hoover 26 The tools are in amazing shape, including the handy Mothimizer!

The first time I've ever adopted a 72 year old baby (I usually like that age number transposed to 27 when, ahem, "adopting", lol) - but this one is a beauty! A 1938 Hoover Model 26, complete with original box, cleaning tools, etc. She is in awesome shape, runs great, and is a knockout! Many...

I am looking for a plastic headlight lens that fits what I would consider the "classic" covertible style. The machine itself is a 707, so anything similar (719, 728) should fit. I'm thinking that one from one of the early series (65, 66, 67, 68, 69, and 70) may also do the trick. If anyone...

Weird auto response Robert - same situation as Michael. Got the weird auto response. I was interested in maybe the 64 and wanted to know what else you had. Thanks, Scott

Hoovers!! Hey Robert - I also sent you an e-mail. Do you have any pictures of these? Thanks, Scott

gosh Fred I am sooooooo jealous of that Eureka, nice machine!

I used to think that too... until I used a Royal upright with tools.

1940's Hoovers Does anyone have a Model 27 in their collection that they could post some pictures of?

Does anybody out there.... Have a picture of a real "in the flesh" Hoover 27 that might be in their collection?

You are correct.... about the model 29, it was the lower priced model (at the same time as the 62) that didn't feature the "handisac" bag. The 634 was a promo model and they seem to be much rarer than the 63, for example.

That was my very first new vacumm that I ever bought when I went moved out of my parent's house back in the day...like 1986 or so. Wow brings back some memories!

Those rayon bags.... just didn't wear well, I guess. You are right, it is hard to find the 61, 62, and 63 with original bags, or if you do, they are all ratty looking. The 64 Citation did have a much sturdier type outer bag.

Hoovers in the 50's I always think of Lucille Ball fiddling with a Hoover 62 on "I Love Lucy". I wish I could find a clip of that episode!

side conversion.... I might be mistaken (so please point it out), but I think the side conversion started earlier than the 27. I know the 26 had it, and I'm pretty sure that the 25 and the 150 had it too. Anyone know for sure?

There were 3 of these same "round head" models in they were the 305, the 27, and the 28. (The 26 had a roundish head, too but was not identical, except for color, like these 3). The post that Charles Richard put up of the 27 pamphlet is great, you can see how much it looks like the other two...

Well Chris...... Of course, some of this is maybe more my opinion or personal experience rather than fact.....but here goes. Although this line (29, 62, 63, 634, and 64) only had a relatively short run (1950 thru 1956), I think they were superior carpet cleaners and superbly made. One...

Indeed..... These were some well made and well designed vacuum cleaners. It's hard to believe that the 305 is almost 70 years old and still has amazing cleaning ability!
