Turned out nicely as well! I've seen Greg's restored 68 in person. Fred did a wonderful job on that vacuum! In fact I got the idea of using Johnson’s paste wax from one of his restore photos. It’s so nice to be a part of this club / forum and learn from some of the masters!

I love the powder blue Eureka, nice Hoovers too.

guardsman69 · May 9, 2012

an awesome job on two fine uprights i love how you used the white hoover bag on the 66 for handle contrast....it brightens and modernized the unit sharp

brandon_w_t · May 9, 2012

WOW!!!

The 66 is stunning! LOVE IT! They both came out great.

kloveland · May 10, 2012

Thanks Brandon,

The Garland green color on this vacuum really stands out after a good polishing. Now if only I could find the original bag.

They look great, Kenny. A silk purse out of a sow's ear.....

Nice model 34 !

Great job kloveland. Your Hoover looks awesome after all your hard work !

A ne w bag for my 66

I purchased a used bag for another "green" convertible model off of ebay. The color matches perfectly. As my grandfather used to say to my grandmother "sometimes an old barn, just needs new paint".

gottahaveahoove · May 22, 2012

I bid on that to do the same exact thing!

I'm glad at least one of the gang got it. Looks great.

kloveland · May 23, 2012

Great minds!

John,

I had no idea. With the vast resources of this club, hopefully one will turn up soon!

gottahaveahoove · May 23, 2012

That's part of the fun, Kenny.

Out of nowhere, we find that long, lost cleaner, part, attachment, booklet. Isn't it great when that happens? It doesn't happen overnight. Great find, Kenny.

kc_kirby · May 23, 2012

That 66 looks so much better now, glad you were able to get that bag for it. Enjoy your new to you Convertible.

Chad

brandon_w_t · May 23, 2012

Wow! Kenny that bag makes the machine look 100% better!

Still my favorite convertible model!

Hey Brandon,

I'm beginning to see why you like the 66 so much!
