Since it was so unbearably hot in Charlotte today, I decided to have a Hoover spa treatment center this afternoon with some of my favorite clients. Posed for glamour shots from left to right are:
the 150, 28, 63, 64 Citation, 67 and 69 If the weather stays like this, I will have to have Kirby, Air-Way and Electrolux spa days too! |

Very nice Charlie! The model 67 is one that has eluded me all these years. Wonder why Hoover went back to the pink so soon? |

What a magnificent line-up!!! I'd say 'Pristine' comes to mind.

What would have been interesting is if Hoover, (while it was still really Hoover), did a retro line of machines. Old machines in new colors. Like the 150 in Neptune Green or 825 in the same red used on the 29. The newer machines could have incorporated current technology making them lighter, more efficient and using a disposable bag.
The convertible colors could have been resurrected on retro coffee can models and even the tanks. The tanks could have been vintage style with new power nozzles, again, using new technology. When the connie was brought back it seemed to do alright although arguably it needed a power nozzle to compete in todays world. |
