How rare is a model 564 Hoover convertible?

[jmathes1991]

So I found a good Hoover convertible model 564, I’ve never even heard of one how rare is it? I can’t even find my pictures of one online? I have to pick it up on Monday I’m kind of excited but have no info on them. Any help would be great!

1961 only I believe. Pretty uncommon. One thing to make sure is if the bag is original. A lot of times you will see this model with a model 704 bag. Correct color but NOT the correct bag. The bag for this model will be gold WITH the words Convertible Special printed near the bottom of the bag. If you have those words on your bag you are all original and rare

The bag does have Convertible Special on it.
The bag has snaps to close the back of the bag.
