What Hoover vacuum is this

[Globadine1]

I recently got this machine in on a trade in. The lady said it was her mothers and traded it to us. I have never seen one like this, I have seen old convertibles but nothing in polished aluminum. The model says 4125 under the base. I was wondering if it rare or just a vac shop special sale item. It's all in good shape so before I sell it I wanted to kind of make sure I wasn't selling something of value for cheap....any help would be appreciated.

This Hoover is a Guardsman Heavy Duty, produced from ca. 1978-1981.

Thanks for the help. Is there a date stamp on these? Would anybody have any idea on what I should ask for the machine as is. It looks to be in good shape, runs well but probably could use a new brush roll. It has a metal one now.

That is a beautiful machine! Lemme what you want for it when you decide, I'd probably be very interested!

Some people would remove the vinyl bag setup

and opt for the cloth shakeout bag.
