Mine would have to be the highly coveted gold model 65. Were I to find one, I'd spraypaint the bag gold just like Chad's! :-) |

Since I don't own any, I'd have to go just by appearance. I think the model 70 would be my choice. Blue is a good color. I might also like the light blue full hood model, don't know the number for that one. |

Ok, technically it's a Hoover De Luxe Model 652, not a Convertible... |

I know that Singer was one of the first manufacturers to offer a cord reel on an upright. I always thought Eureka was next with a round cord reel on one of their early 1960's Automatic uprights. This Convertible makes me think Hoover offered this before Eureka. Any idea what year this beauty is from? Eurekaprince Brian |

Is definitely the model 69. Love the color, love the feel of it, love the sound of it. I think it's right about when the Convertible was at its best. Here are a few pictures of mine... |

... the 70 and the 1070. I'm partial to the 70 'cuz it was first introduced in the same year that I was born, and to the 1070 because I just love everything about it! BTW - Welcome back Charlie! I'm new around here but you and I have corresponded before. Glad to see you're back here at VacuumLand! Bill W. |

Although not a Hoover convertible, it's the UK 652 model. |

There is a story behind it. After my Nona passed away, I was the oldest in the family, so responsibility fell on me to take care of a lot of things. Vacuuming was one of my many jobs. There used to be a vacuum store across the street from the bank my dad used to work at, and I used to drive the owner absolutely nuts. One day we our Monkey Wards badged Eureka canister bit the dust, and I told my dad we needed a new vacuum. To my surprise, my Dad told me to go pick one out from my friend at the vacuum store, and this is the model I bought. It's the Convertible on the right hand side.
