Classic Cadillac

Hmm, is this old enough to be vintage?

Looks very old fashioned, doesnt it?

Thanks for sharing this

Swingette,

Thanks for sharing the ebay listing and picture of the 1914 Cadillac. I have several Cadillacs in my collection of vintage vacuums, but my oldest is from about 1935.

The oldest electric vacuum cleaner I have in my collection, however, is a Franz Premier, circa 1917. Jim Kirby collaborated with the Franz Brothers in developing the Franz Premier.

Jim Kirby, Kansas (but lived in Texas 14 years and graduated
with bachelors degree from T.C.U., Fort Worth, in 1959)
