Any of y'all know anything about this? Apparently it's from France or Canada as the word "aspirateur" is French for vacuum cleaner.

Giant Vacs

Electrolux had a similar vacmobile in the 20s in Europe.
In US Hoover had a giant Constellation(not a vehicle)for display at dealer conventions.I have seen some evidence that it was later reworked into a giant
Celebrity.

They made giant everything at one time.

I've seen these mobiles before. Imagine Tom Anderson and me driving down the street in them. (VERY do-able), and, oddly, not strange at all.

I think it must be French, rather than Canadian, based on what appears to be a long, narrow European style license plate on the back of the one in the foreground.

Most likely France. Hoover Canada would have had bilingual English/French graphics back in those days when Montreal was Canada's largest city. The lack of any English on these promo vehicles makes me pretty sure it's from France.

I Want a HooverMobile...

Wow, that looks like it'd be fun to drive. To bad I'm not old enough to have a license. If I ever find one it will be my first car and last car.
