It looks like it was/is a 29. The handle is too long to be a 63, and the 62 would've had the tan hand grip. This appears to have been painted to resemble a 63. From where the paint has worn away, you can see the familiar maroon hood and what looks to be the silver hammer tone paint on the base. As pinkge suggested, flip it over and look for the model number in the upper left hand corner below the rear wheels. It's seen better days, but could easily be restored!

your Hoover After close examing,I agree,with Hooverboy81,it is a Model 29,with a 63 bag and has been repainted.The handle is also,a 29,as it is longer and not one of the shorter handles, like the 63.A lot of work to bring this baby back. | ||

Does anyone know why the 29 had a longer handle than the 62/63? Was it something to do with the cloth shake-out bag rather than disposable bags? I never realized there was a difference, | ||
