Yes, Hoover did Indeed make a Power Drive Dial-A-Matic cleaner for Montgomery Ward during the 1970s It was catalog number 870, with the base finished in "Aztec Gold", and the rest of the cleaner finished in "Frosting White." There is a picture of it in thread 27777, which I believe is titled "Hoover VaultFinds." You will have to scroll down a little ways to see it, but it is definitely there, along with a picture of the JCPenney version of the cleaner. In fact, Consumer Reports tested the Wards model (and the similar Hoover model U6039) in 1976, with both models being recommended as "A boon for people with lots of.carpet."
