I just found this wonderful television commercial for the beautiful Eureka Vanguard upright vacuum cleaner. This is a really early version because it still shows a tool port on the top of the hood in place of a "Rugulator" height adjuster that would debut in a few years' time. They don't even talk about a Vibra-Groomer brush roll yet. The focus of the advertisement is on the "box-top" top-fill Triple Filter "F & G" bag.
Had no idea that the sleek Vanguard hood that is still visible on Sanitaire uprights began way back in 1968! Such a cool piece of vacuum cleaner history! :-) Click on this link... CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK |

I really think Eureka used the Vanguard name on only a few of the original “box-top” bag Cordaway models…maybe only on 270, 271 and the newer 2070 and 2080. This was from about 1967 to 1972. When they flattened the motor hood in the next series in 1973, they stopped using the Vanguard name.
The boxier Vanguard motor hood lives on until the present day in the classic Sanitaire chromed hood upright vacuums…..over 50 years later! |
