WTB: Vintage Hoover Convertible in New Jersey

[tonyv773]

Hello,

I’m looking for a vintage Hoover convertible, something in a bright fun color with the light on the front. I am an appliance collector, so condition is key, looking for something that is complete, original, working and if it has the box and paperwork that’s a plus too.

I have a Hoover U4005 I'd sell, no headlight but it is all original. Nice bright blue. Has a hole in the back of the bag, about the size of a quarter. Some scratches and scuffs on the base. Works beautifully, pics available if you are interested.
This thread shows the same model: https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?11676

1950 Hoover model 70 with all attachments

I would be happy to sell this to a collector who appreciates this vintage vacuum. I was looking for a collector for the past few months.

I also have documentation from a letter my grandmother sent to my mom when she sent her this Hoover Jan 12, 1950!

Let me know if you need more information or need to see more photos.
Thank you,
Karen

1950 would be a Red model 29 Hoover, or possibly a blue model 62 Hoover. Not clear on the dates for those. This would have been made in the late 60s - early 70s. I don’t remember the actual years, they are somewhere on the VL convertible list thread. Maybe the documentation is for a different Hoover?

The model 70...

Launched in 1964!

Model 70- 1964-1966. Delft blue and Pearl white with silver trim. Most models have large medallion
last models have small stick on.

 

[myvacsrock]

I do have an extra 66 right now..

She purrs lovely and like new. It is ready for a new home.

 

[tonyv773]

Thank you all for the replys

I am considering the green model 66 that myvacsrock is selling, we actually discussed on facebook earlier in the week. Im specifically looking for something that is in "found" condition, as I enjoy fixing appliances myself. However if I cannot find anything I may "pull the plug" on myvacsrock option

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Best of luck!

Let us know how it goes.

I got a vacuum

so over a week ago, I found a Hoover model 704 on craigslist, and the seller actually put down the wrong phone number so I wasnt able to get in contact with him. Luckily I emailed him as well. I picked up the 704 and now its time for a restoration. Not sure If im going to mess with repainting the body (it has 'character') Im going to stop by my local vacuum repair shop for a new belt and other needed parts. Im on the hunt for an original bag, so if anyone has one for a model 704 let me know! The vacuum works, but needs to be serviced. I already started cleaning it a bit

That's a great machine.

WHEN you find another bag, I'd suggest you keep that one, too. It's a replacement, but, it's genuine Hoover.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Looks like it was used a lot by a

right-handed person. The paint is worn off on the handle. My mother's model 69 and a huge bare spot there. She was right-handed, too.
That should clean up nicely.
Now, you'll need tools!!!
