I was just visiting Electrolux Group's design history page of its website and noticed the following:
"1937
Electrolux launches the Model XXX vacuum cleaner, designed by Lurelle Guild. As cars and trains are streamlined, Axel Wenner-Gren, the founder of Electrolux, sees the value in bringing a similar sleek elegance to home appliances. He personally tracks down some of the leading industrial designers of the time, and invites them to work with Electrolux. The design and shape of a product becomes an important factor to attract consumers."
So was the US Model XXX designed in Sweden and sold there and here?
