technically speaking,
If my DreamSoto was for the 1961 model year, then it was on sale in 1960 (and should I wake up in 1960 tomorrow, I'll take a DeSoto,a Kirby, and a Montgomery Ward charge card with no limit!!
)
Fun fact-wards even sold HOUSES from their catalog back in the day!
Calem-I've got a question for you! WHY is there a Eureka RR belt on that 505s handle? Is it perhaps a hint at that lovely Eureka F&G?
