Saw an episode of Matlock (one of the last California-filmed NBC ones before it moved to North Carolina filming on ABC). Episode was "The Outcast" where Ben decides he's going to retire and runs away on a fishing trip. In this episode his housekeeper (the lady that talked all the time) was using a Hoover Dial a Matic Powerdrive (light gray with dark gray trim).
Surprised Ben would have such a fancy vacuum considering how cheap he was (but then again by this time it would've been about 20 years old). And then again he always had the newest top trim Ford Crown Victoria in gray with gray leather interior. So I guess a gray vacuum to match his gray suit and car.
In one of the ABC episodes, a childhood friend of Ben's comes to visit, who sells vaccum cleaners, ends up scheduling a vacuum demonstration to take place in Ben's living room! It's a Rainbow SE with the power nozzle, Rainmate, etc all set up around the room.
