In search of a rare 80s Hoover

[oldskoolguy]

As some may know, I once had a Hoover model u4395 that was a hand me down from my grandmother. How I got it is another story. But last year after giving it to a vacuum store to get the fan changed and hopefully the terminal replaced (it broke off), I discovered it was thrown out at the end of February (2 and a half months after I dropped it off). This was after I emailed the owner after 3 months with no response. Since then I’ve been holding out for hope that I’ll find it, but with no luck. I feel like I may have more luck finding a rare Kirby more so than finding this old custom convertible. So I’m hoping to find the old hoover from My childhood. If anyone has or knows someone who has one, I’d GREATLY appreciate it.

If I'm thinking of the right one, I believe it's colored similar to the U4387 that I have.
Different design on the bag, and the other style hood. Was it called the Ranger?
Sort of like if you could combine both of my Convertibles.

It had a slim, small headlight and the bag had progressing shades of orange/red that led down to a dark red base. I saw one at Peddlers mall when I was very young, but that was before I really had any collection or money for it.
