Pumpkin/Brown and Pink/White Hoovers

[kirbyotronic]

So, I know that for the pink line of Hoover's, there was two models of pink Constellation's, 65 and 67 Convertible, the floor polisher, and the Junior (US Model). Is there anything else that I'm missing?

What about the Pumpkin/Brown Hoover line? There was the
Dial-a-Matic, Constellation (?), Portable, Floor polisher (orange only?), and Convertible (orange only?). Is there anything else from the Pumpkin/Brown line that I'm missing?

Hopefully Someday I'll have a complete Pumpkin/Brown Hoover line, as well as the Pink/White line?!?!

Fred...

Thanks for sharing. You have a beautiful collection.

 

[constellation86]

What about the celebrities? Ignore the two on the left.

 

[kirbyvertibles]

Hey Fred,
isn't that the beautiful pumpkin dial a matic that you sent home with me?

 

[kirbyotronic]

Fred, that is a great display! I found a Pumpkin/Brown Portable at the Goodwill months ago, but it was missing most of the attachments, and the Hoover badge was dented. The whole thing looked like it was "abused". Thank you for the information and sharing that picture!

Nicholas, I really like the Celebrity, yours it a really nice example!

Thanks everyone, and Happy Holidays,
~Alex.

Hi Alex, Heres the pumkin / brown boys from the UK, and YES Hoover did make a Pumkin Convertable!!!...well technically ...lol, the Hoover DAM in the UK was marketed as the Convertable, as your Convertable was the Senior over here!!!,

Pumkin Junior

Hello Folks,

I loved that colour scheme as a young boy in the 1960's... Mike ....did the junior at some point in its production run ever have an orange belt chamber cover or am I having one of my 'senior moment memory/info glitches' ?


Regards, Walter, Shropshire.

 

[petek]

Differing tastes, this color scheme was my least favorite. Brown and orange... just seems to clash

 

[kirbyvertibles]

Fred, I love it! Thank you very much.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I love them

But, one has to admit, SOME ofthe colors HOOVER came up with........ yes??

 

[arh1953]

One colour combination would be

The two greens on the British line in the 1960's, I forget the names, but they're gorgeous.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

amazing that HOOVER USA

didn't completely dictate to the UK. We (both countries) are amazed at each other's cleaners

Pumpkin Junior,

Walter,

Yes, the 1346 was produced originally with a Pumpkin belt cover. 1967 models only I think as this quickly was changed to the deep seal greige, I have an early (Feb 1968 IIRC) 1346 with the deep seal greige panel, but it retains the 1334 bag collar!

I have outlined these on my own homage to Hoover, The Classic Hoover Emporium.

The pumpkin fronted 1346 is my personal holy grail of Hoover cleaners, along side a decent Convertible! (DAM to you US guya and gals).
I will keep looking, till hell freezes oiver if necessary! LOL

Hope this helps.

Happy hoovering,

Clark.

Mike and Clark

Hello and many thanks,

Ah so it was 1967 when my Grandmother was looking to supplement her 1334 (which was fitted with a genuine Hoover full cloth bag) and early Lux 65 with another small upright to keep upstairs to save her 'daily womans'' legs.

I managed to talk her out of considering a lux 150 ? type as we all thought it ugly and I liked the idea of using the hoover tools !

Sadly the new junior was never purchased as a result of her cleaning woman being revealed as my Grandfathers' secret booze runner.....she was sacked......NO CHARR....NO 1346 !!!


Re: Simons' line up; the chocolate/ cream dirtsearcher: was that the HOOVER, HOOVER and the navy blue 'EXCLUSIVE' model that I once had a 'CO-OP' version ?

It was a minter (rare ?) and I sold it....now was that a 'JUNIOR' or 'SENIOR' moment !!!!!!!!!!

Regards, Walter.
