When I was younger, both my grandmother and great grandmother had Hoover Elite style vacuum cleaners. I would like to find out the exact model of those two Hoovers. I don't have any pictures unfortunately, but I do have vivid descriptions. I'll start off with the one my grandmother owned. It was a higher end model exactly like the one in the picture, except it was navy blue instead of dark green, and it had a handle grip. Eventually, my grandmother gave it to me when she bought a Eureka The Boss SmartVac, and I kept it until the hood and base were destroyed when something accidentally fell on it. I don't have the hood or base any more, but I do have the handle "spine" and the motor, and maybe the bag enclosure. The one my great grandmother had was maroon in color, and it had a headlight, hose, and side-zip soft bag, but the strange part was the brushroll. It had a round belt situated in the center of the brushroll, similar to a Hoover Convertible. I think it might have had a metal baseplate and/or brushroll. I only vaguely remember this one, so I might have remembered it incorrectly or confused it with another vacuum. I'm sure Gottahaveahoove will have some input on this.
