Any of y'all know anything about this? Apparently it's from France or Canada as the word "aspirateur" is French for vacuum cleaner.

Giant Vacs

Electrolux had a similar vacmobile in the 20s in Europe.
In US Hoover had a giant Constellation(not a vehicle)for display at dealer conventions.I have seen some evidence that it was later reworked into a giant
Celebrity.

They made giant everything at one time.

I've seen these mobiles before. Imagine Tom Anderson and me driving down the street in them. (VERY do-able), and, oddly, not strange at all.

I think it must be French, rather than Canadian, based on what appears to be a long, narrow European style license plate on the back of the one in the foreground.

Most likely France. Hoover Canada would have had bilingual English/French graphics back in those days when Montreal was Canada's largest city. The lack of any English on these promo vehicles makes me pretty sure it's from France.

Wow, that looks like it'd be fun to drive. To bad I'm not old enough to have a license. If I ever find one it will be my first car and last car.
