Thanks for your reply. I stand corrected: my "63" is not a true convertble, as it was produced sometime between 1953 and 1956. I incorrectly assumed that since it resembles all the later convertibles and has the converter/hose/attachments, it was. A true convertible has a rear opening for the...

REALLY appreciate all the pics and details! I'm very much a Convertble kind of guy -- Mom, Grandma Estes and many of Mom's sisters all had them. It's what I grew up with. Sorry to say, as a kid having chores to do, "vacuuming" was mostly a pleasure, except when having to interrupt with bag...
