John!

That is ONE of them. We saw the big "blue" convertible in North Canton. Thry took one of those 28s, painted it, and, put a Convertible hood on it. I feel that they should have left it alone, and, just made a new one. They DID make several models.
Dear Santa,
Skip the bow.

giant Hoovers

There was also a giant Constellation that may have been reworked into a giant Celebrity.(Sort of like a Chrysler show car could get paint and trim and still be the new show car a year later.)Anyone have pics.I don't.

Jim here'e your giant Hoover.

 

[stephaniekoro]

hi have you got one of these in the shop interested in the manufacturer who made these i dont know too much about them.

 

[crazykirbydude]

I really want to come down there! I might be able to come in late April or May.

 

[hoover300]

Very worth it

You will be blown away. There are quite a few toy vacs, but most of what I saw appeared to be those 70s Eureka toys and the Dirt Devil MVP juniors that actually have suction. He has the big Hoover as well but it has been moved to the back of the newer store. Tons of Kirbies as well (some not pictured), oldest one there so far is a 508 with green bag.

@hoover300

hoover300 did you see that rotovac in there anywhere?

 

[hoover300]

There is A LOT there so I won't rule out the possibility, but all I saw toy wise were Eureka and Dirt Devil toys.

Trying to reach Jimmy Martin

Jimmy’s voicemail isn’t set up and frankly, I don’t blame him. What’s the best way to reach him?

 

[hoover300]

Just try calling again tomorrow, he doesn't do email or anything and his local library is closed down due to covid so he can't post(last I heard anyway).

 

[luxlife]

Ok. Thanks Hoover300!

 

[luxlife]

Hoover 300

We spoke today and had a great conversation

 

[hoover300]

Glad you were able to get through!

 

[gregvacs28]

That store is like a vacuum cleaner heaven from what I've seen.


 


Someone should film a vacuum based movie there.

 

[stephaniekoro]

did you ask about the rotovac

 

[luxlife]

[No message]

 

[marks_here]

OUCH

That was a bit harsh

 

[gregvacs28]

yeah, give them credit for being persistent but not in an over-bearing way.

 

[luxlife]

It’s been removed. Change of heart

I’m more concerned about my comments that remain for posterity, so I’ll exercise my editorial privilege. None of this is worth it and I do have a tendency to overreact. [this post was last edited: 5/30/2020-22:04]
