Here is the full monty...she runs beautifully. I did have to clean out the agitator and grease the bearings. Now it just purrs and of course...beats as it sweeps as it cleans! --Tom |

what a sharp, crisp color that blue is. seems like a cross between powder and robins egg blue. the hood, bumper and bag just jump out. very nice. |

Wow Tom, That's one of the most beautiful Convertibles that I've ever seen before. Definitely the Penncrest Blue color that you stated. Good eye there Stephen! Chad |

That is different, I have seen several pictures of the green version, but never this color set. I wonder if this was original or some kind of vac shop type rebuild job? |
