Whats your favorite vintage vacuum?

[tom519]

My favorite vintage vac. is the Kenmore 'BUG EYE'. I don't have one however, maybe someday if I win LOTTO. I think one sold on EBAY not to long ago for about $600.00.

lux model 89 green and my 1939 Filter Queen all chrome

 

[hype822]

mine are the electrolux xxx, and in my opinion, the best looking upright made, the hoover 28.

 

[kirbyklassic80]

It really would be hard to pick one.

It's a toss up with me it's the kirby 505 and the hoover 28, which I am happy to say I am getting tomorrow! Can't wait!! Post some pics as soon as I get it.

Kirby D50 in red and blue

I had a vacuum store several years ago and I still have some of the 'bo-jack?' replacement trim kits for the 500-D80 Kirbys. Let me know if you are interested in them.
Anyone out there know where I can get parts for the commercial Kirby called the Super Vac 180? It's the same as the American Lincoln, Super Sweeper and ComVac. I've been looking for one for many years and found one in a thrift store yesterday. It runs well,may need to take it apart and clean and lub.
