Lets See Those Plastic Base Convertibles!!!

[firebirdman55]

Everyone always loves on the old metal base Comvertibles, which is fine...I have a couple and love them! But let's see some pics of your plastic base Convertibles! I think they're just as great and am really considering adding some to my collection when funds allow...especially a U4335 or U4127!

Good looking machine! I love the 1060 hood style!!!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Beautiful.

I love that vacuum.

That grey Hoover..

.
color really has aged well. I have a Concept II that color and it might be my coolest looking Hoover.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

My gray Hoover is a bit yellowed

as it is the one from the "vault". That happened a lot.

I have but one

Convertible- a lovely model U4387. Not sure on the year (anyone know?) but it is and always has been a formidable tank of an upright. 

 

[constellation86]

This must be a popular model! I found this a couple weeks ago and still haven't cleaned it up. This isn't even my first. I had one just like it a few years ago but the base cracked so I parted it out. The motor, handle, bag, hood and brushroll all got reused. I'm not sure what year but I would guess mid 80's

Here's the ad for it. But no date.
By the way 16 foot cords are way too short on an upright. What were they thinking?

 

[constellation86]

Here's another one, it is still buried but I found a before picture. This one cleaned up pretty nice and I remember it being a beast, the suction pulled the carpet up quite a ways. This was my first Convertible with more than 5 amps.

Here's the brown ad.

I always wondered why they

didn't have a f ull bumper AND a handle grip on that vac. I have 2 of them. Yes, a very short (too short) cord. But, it cleans like a champ w/ a great bright light.

Here's one of my favorites...

The Convertible U4127.....seems to be a hard model to find these days!

 

[firebirdman55]

I found a u4387 at Goodwill two years ago. It was $8 and I passed it up. I got to thinking about it and went back to get it...and it was gone. I still kick myself hard for that decision! Beautiful machine!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

THat green on was VERY popular.

And, oddly, for a basic vac, it has a handle grip! I love those handle grips. Fred Stachnick brought one a few years ago to a convention to raffle. It was stunning. I don't remember who won it. I have 1 anf a half of them. Someday, I MUST attack it and get it looking fabulous once more. LOTS and LOTS of those cleaners sold.
