Fred, I believe you must be right on, or very close. You know Hoovers, etc. "No discredit to John either of course." | ||

I thought somebody told me a long while back that the full size Hoover top loaders were re-badged Norge? No? I think I know who, but I wouldn't dare say. | ||

I noticed there was no power-drive Dial-A-Matic. And why only one Constellation? Wouldn't the 858 be from the same time? It would be neat to go back and see the Hoover factory back in the heyday! Nicholas | ||

The Power Drive DAM didn't debut until 1969, if I recall correctly; and the 858 Constellation may not have been introduced yet. I don't recall if the 858 replaced the 843, or if they were sold consecutively. | ||

Well, here it is. That photo was from the 1967 Annual Report. The "pumpkin" Connie, model 858 isn't pictured because it hadn't come out yet. As far as the washers, they were made by Blackstone, who went out of business, thus leaving Hoover w/o a washer manufacturer. There were only 2 models, the automatic washer was made from March 6, 1967 to Dec 31, 1970. The low cost (pictured( was $249.50. The Deluxe washer, same production dates, was $279.50. They only had their apt size machines after that. The dryer, same production dates, Gas model was $189.50, while the electric was $169.50 That beloved PUMPKIN Connie, model 858 was made from April 27, 1970 to Jan 24, 1975. That , and the "tilt" model 843 were made consecutively.
I'm glad to be able to fill in the gaps.
Questions answered. John | ||

Well, sadly slim chance and fat chance mean the same thing. It is soooo important to put 'correct' info out there.... for not just Hoover, but every make of vacuum. How many times do we read misinformation, half thruths, or just blatant lies. Poor Ann Haines herself personally corrected numerous details... only to be ignored. It then was printed... making "new facts", which are still erroneous. If I 'm uncertain of something, I go to the ones who truly know. Luckily, I am in touch with those very people, for which, I'm truly grateful. John.

John, what on earth are you talking about? What did Ann Haines "correct" which was then "ignored"? | ||
