Unknown Vintage Prop Vacuum In "Deadline Auto Theft"

[huskyvacs]

I was watching a car chase movie Saturday night by the name of "Deadline Auto Theft", and I caught this canister vac being used in the background at a car wash. Thought it would be interesting to show here, and maybe someone might know what it is? It was funny, the guy was supposed to be a pill junkie and was totally wasted on the job and let a car get stolen right in front of him. The movie came out in 1983.

I haven't watched that movie in AGES! That was a classic H.B. Halicki film! Same guy that created Gone in 60 Seconds and The Junkman! I do recall that scene with the guy stoned off his gourd and the old vacuum! Thanks for bringing this up!
