USA Semiquincentennial in 2026 - Anniversary Models?

[paul]

The United States of America is planning to celebrate its Semiquincentennial, or 250th anniversary, in 2026.

I'd like to see industries, such as the electric floor & surface appliance one, designate anniversary-themed products to mark the occasion as The Hoover Company and The Eureka Company did for our Bicentennial in 1976.


My ideas include sealed HEPA vacuum cleaners :

1. Aerus - Model XXX replica with power nozzle and Lux Floor Pro

2. Eureka - rebranded Sanitaire Tradition-style upright with headlight, ST bag assembly, Quick Kleen (similar to the classic F & G)

3. Hoover - Convertible upright with headlight

4. G-E - Swivel-Top canister


What say you? I'm also curious to know if any other country's electric floor & surface care appliances have had their own anniversary-themed models in the past?

The upcoming 250th anniversary is certainly getting a low-key treatment, compared to the 1976 Bicentennial. I remember things gearing up for that one as early as 1973 or '74, and continuing for a little while afterward, all in signature tacky '70s fashion. I guess it also served as a comforting distraction from the recently ended war in Vietnam and other social ills of the day.
