Mine is Hoover Model 65 50th Anniversary model in gold. They are so incredibly rare. Does anyone out there have one? I also love Model 69. Thanks, Ron

Denim
I'm not really into Convertibles, but my favorite is the Denim model. I had a pristine one with a NOS hood and gave it to John Pease, who has a really terrific Convertible collection but didn't have that one.

Favorite convertible
I bought my mom a model 70. That would have to be my favorite.

I'd not have a specific model, but I love the sound of the Decade-80 type motors.

For me
My favorite convertible of all time has to be the gorgeous pink 65.
I have the base of one with a cracked hood. Need handle and original bag eventually. But its still cool!
Here are some of my past/presently owned convertibles that I like.
The machines I do -not- own any longer-
1960s 33 special- now with Fred Stachnik
1979 U4123 (red one) - also with Fred S now
1960 model 68- sold on ebay long ago
The 1020 is my daily driver for general use. Its super quiet, and a very good runner!
The Blue two tone is a very special machine for me. Its my childhood vacuum. Its a Commercial convertible model 344 from the mid 1960s. It was the first vacuum cleaner that was ever declared mine. I never turned it on until I was 16 years old!
Its the smoothest and quietest convertible I have ever used. New old stock 344 styled bag on it.
I had another one but Fred Stachnik now has it.
Of course the 913 isn't a convertible, but I think its close enough! A fine gift from Greg Nunn. All original, and very beautiful all around!

Yes Fred, the sale of Marcella Loraine of 725 Gerald, 63031. She had no kids or hubby, but her family had a presale Thanksgiving Eve '09 and I snatched this up for $5 and had the tools to boot. The brush strips on it are replacements but still long and supple.

65 and 69
Mine are the 65 and 69. I sure wish I had the original bags on each of them, but I am stll happy to have them.
The 65 was my grandmother's so it is a family heirloom and I know it's exact history. And the 69 I got a few months ago as the lady was putting out on the curb for trash pick up. It belonged to her mother who had died a few weeks before and the lady didn't need it.

The Late Convertibles of the 1970's and Early Eighties are my Favorite.[this post was last edited: 3/25/2011-17:02]
