That's a great model.
It came with a dark brown bag. The hood is SIMILAR to the famed 1076, just slightly deeper/darker. It is the only model with that lens printing, too. It also has only the 2 height adjustment. It is a favorite vacuum, a real WORKHORSE.
The middle one also came with a white bag. A stripped down model, but, I believe it has the high-performance motor. I have both versions of that blue upright.
The THIRD cleaner, hm I have no info on. I do notice, that, it is a bit separated from the other 2.

THE ONE ON THE LEFT!
That was my mom's!
Wedding present in September 1968, from my grandparents who had the indentical model.
However, they weren't all outfitted with the dark chocolate brown bag. As was explained to me in another thread, there were apparently two different production runs. My grandma had one with the dark brown bag. Mom's was light brown.

I think ...
... we all love what we grew up with.
But I admit -- I LOVE looking at the rainbow of colors that Hoover used for its convertibles through the years!

Middle Hoover
I love the middle model! It was the vacuum my mom had when I was born & is the vac that started my love of vacuums. My grandmother had the same model & bought one for my mom too. I would really like to find one for my collection someday.

That's not the one that came from my house, is it? I believe I still have 2 of them here.
