I'm in search of a nice Packard vacuum cleaner to display with my Packard car. Complete with a nice bag preferred, attachments would be a bonus. If anyone has one for sale, let me know!

Thanks! It's a 23rd Series 1949 Super Deluxe Eight Touring Sedan with overdrive & Electromatic clutch. I usually take something with an automatic transmission to the Woodward dream cruise, sitting in bumper to bumper traffic for hours in the heat is a great way to overheat your clutch (and engine, for that matter).

Would like a nice Packard vacuum
I have one (pretty sure 98% ) in dry storage up at my folks house, very Similar to the one you have a pic of. EXCEPT I think mine has the JAR lid bag opening. You are welcome to it (for NADA, FREE and ZILCH) as I haven't touched it in almost a decade now. Next time Im up and will shoot pics of it, and then will contact you.. it does run, and I THINK has a icky white replacement cord on it. That can easily be fixed. Beautiful Bathtub BTW.....;-)

Perhaps I can pick the Packard up IN a Packard
That would be awesome. I do like Packards. That isn't a secret....LOL!! I also have a Coffee can Hoover possibly a 725 you can have for parts for your others, if you'd like. It may be a week or so till I'm up there next, but as soon as I get them, I'll throw you a message here, and we can make plans to exchange goods...
Chad My very favorite Packard ever.... Any senior 56' for that matter...

I also just came across this cool Packard Electric shaver the other day. Looks like it was never used! I wonder what other "Packard" appliances there are out there?

I wonder what other "Packard" appliances there are o
Well not sure......BUT
I did grab the Packard Vacuum this weekend, and it is, in fact a later one made by P.A. Geier (Royal)....It does say "Packard DeLuxe" on it, on the nozzle cap, and on the bag. Which is presentable, but faded and the bag graphics have too!! It is NOT a round cap top model, but a later one with a slide clamp bag, much like a Royal would have had. I know I USED to have an earlier Packard with that bag, but god only knows where it's gone to. If you still want it, Im going to pull it into the store tomorrow and give it a go over. It runs SUPER smooth tho. And unless YOU would like to leave it as is with the white cord, I can see if I have anything that will do to change it to a black cord. I'm honestly unsure of what it woulda come with. Fabric cord, or a rubber. But the 1930's when these were being made, rubber WAS the standard type of cord for vacuums. Later on today, I'll post some pics of it.... Chad | ||

Chad - send me an email so we can arrange a time to meet, my email address can be found on my website here: edisonrecord.com/contact.html...
I think you're correct about the black rubber cord being correct for it. If you have a spare, that would be awesome. I'm super excited! | ||

An Update to the Packard Deluxe Model 1949...
I was finally able to get the machine here into my store today and get it polished and put on the new cord. It was looking a little worn from sitting under my folks basement stairs in storage for the last decade, so I wanted to give it a nice hand polish. As you can see by the pictures, it runs and is immediately ready to show. I will be available all day Sunday.. in fact there is a car show going on in Brighton Michigan maybe we could meet there and you could get the Packard for your Packard!!

Never knew that P A Geier sold Packard...
Hey Jeff, neither did I. I believe that Cadillac or Clemens manufacturing may the Packard's first and then later on it shifted to PA Geier!! About to meet His Master's Voice to do the drop off. He likes it as much as he said he does. Misinki... I have been dealing on and off in vintage vacuums for over 25 years and if there's one thing that I will always put into them it's my time and effort if possible and not pass off as shoddy product. I was reared in the collecting world when passing on to follow collectors was more important than making money off of it. And part of that is to not sell somebody offers somebody something that isn't on the beam. And if it is to let them know. It's just good friendly business sense. I work for Ann Arbor vacuum and have for the last 11 years prior to that I work for the Hoover company and other private businesses going all the way back to 1995.. I believe in order to have good friendships to shoot straight don't cheat make people happy and I always was it built with this from one of my closest friends who is also a collector there are always more to be had possibly something that you like better if you just share to start out with. Don't get me wrong he is purchasing another machine but I offered it to him at an incredibly fair price considering the rarity and condition. Many people who are on here who have chosen to be friendly with me have been quite surprised and quite blessed with gifts that I have given them. And are offering them machines that are dreams of theirs for again reasonable prices. So anyway just waiting for him to show up now

thanks again for the Packard!!
Brandon,
Was great to meet you last night, talk about cars and vacuums, and of course the passing on and sharing of machines. Look forward to possibly doing that again sometime very soon, after I find those tools for the 825. As I stated, they are just up someplace in one of my two other storage areas. Hope you made it back before the storms blew thru. I had a few interesting moments back by my house where I kinda thought I'd end up in Kansas. It got pretty wild. I will as promised go thru some of my earlier machines and such to see if you are interested. I'm just at a point (which we discussed), where if it isn't being enjoyed and used, or even useful, to pass on, either by a gift of such; or a bit of greenback being tossed towards. Also, would love to come and see the cars you have in person, and of course seeing your 49' Packard. will keep in touch. Enjoy your new machines!!! Chad | ||
