Phill...

Im not sure about the green.I think the green was made for certain stores and/or dealer/vac-shop so they could say "exclusively at..." as far as the black ones they did say deluxe on them but the only real difference was the color IIRC.
And yes the green that you remember was slightly brighter than the Pro-series i think.

Also

The Pro line was no different than the plain ol Reds...with the excption of the Can vac.The DD Can Pro & Royal(blue& bugrgandy's) had chrome wands instead of plastic.

When it comes to the old style uprights, there are 3 major versions, which I believe were made simultaniouly. You had the low end soft and hard case models (like the featherlite), the cloth bagged and hard body models with headlights (like the green one I posted), and the hard body only clean air "Upright", "Deluxe", and early "MVP" models.

For early Dirt Devil cleaners I have seen the following variants which cover most model lines:

Major Variants:
Standard (Red)
Pro Series (Green or Blue)
Signature Series (Black with Red)
Plus (Black, Red, or rare Green)

Less Common, Really Odd, or Limited to Certain Cleaner Types:
Sterling Jet (see image) - Only seen one - ever!
Series 500 (hand vacs - Black with yellow or Black with Red)
Car Vac - Kenny Wallace Edition
Dirt Devil Labeled Metal Vacuums

And the uprights hand a ton of names. This "profile" is an example.

omg I soooooo want those 2 models, they are Nice machines. lol
as far as Dirt Devils go
I have
2 MVP
1 SOFT BAG LITE
original broom vac (
a newer 90s broom vac
room mate
3 hand vacs
and the Dust devil Hand vac

in my opinion the older ones were the best for that brand as there were not as many flaws as there are now. my MVP already is a 1/4 of the way full and I have been using it for 3 days, it could be because it is winter and that salt and dirt are being tracked through the house. but all in all I have to say that my MVP is a great cleaner

Car Vac - Kenny Wallace Edition

I never seen that one,Id love to get my hands on one =),or atleast see it lol. And I forgot about the plain black profiles and other names they had. They used the Classic tag alot to didnt they?
I know now TTI hads the classic hand vac. It looks like the 'Classic" but I bet the hepa filter chokes quickly and it looks like it could be a screamer. Im sure someone can fill me in on that?

 

[lux1521]

Here is a picture of the Kenny Wallace edition car vac. Aside from the Kenny Wallace name on the bag and body, it appears pretty much like the standard car vac that I have. This is the only one I have seen. The car vac I have is a poor performer, much worse than the standard 2 amp models.

In addition to the Profile name, they used Classic, Sensation, Lite, Lite Plus, Toughmate, Extra HP, Impulse, and probably others.

WOW

Thanks Eric,I love it. My parents and I are race fans so I don't know how I ever missed this in the stores. I sooo want to get the Jeff Gordon and Dale robot vacs but they are/were 200 each when I seen the a year or 2 ago.

I remember the DD Car vac I thought sure it would work better than a reg 12v car-vac. The car vac I have now looks similar to the DD and it works just as good as the 2amp the tools dont suck to goo though,but not bad for the in between like today its 23 degrees and snow and ice is still on some roads and my driveway so I will touch up the car with it this morning b4 my aunts funeral cause were using my car as the family car behind the hurse. Lucky me. Again thank you Eric for showing me the pic I will post a pic of my DD imposter car-vac when I get a min.

As a fan of racing, and of GM automobiles, I'd also like to get my hands on the Eureka Corvette Vac. They pop up from time to time.

I like the Kenny Wallace stuff. He was driving a Pontiac at the time. I have some of the diecast Dirt Devil racing stuff, and have seen racing related Dirt Devil ads on ebay. In addition to the car vac, the series 500 hand vacs also had a racing theme.

Corvette Vac from craigslist:

Corvette vacuums and other treasures

I'm still tired of other people deciding what to throw out of ours!

 

[kenmore81]

I hear ya..

ALOT of that has happend in my house. Every once in a while Dad goes on a cleaning spree and I find things in the trash that "havn't been used anyway". I say just ask. he asks now tho lol and I usualy say no or give im something like a cord or common crevie tool to make him feel better lol(Ducs and runs form Rick lmao)

 

[arh1953]

My father didn't care

and my poor mother wanted to, but never did throw anything out of value to me. I did willingly part company with things when they went to a thrift store.
