The rug and floor tools are different from any other Kenmore,they use a curved lower wand and attach like a Eureka. |

If I'm not mistaken, this was the ONLY model of the Kenkart where the cart was actually part of the machine, instead of being added on to a tank like the earlier models. And yours is a beauty! I actually have a copy of the 1956 Fall & Winter Sears Catalog, and this model was priced at $99.95. Two other tanks and four canisters were also offered, but oddly no uprights! Jeff |

They didn't advertise uprights, they had them, and they were good! |

Possibly they might have listed them in the Spring & Summer Catalog, but not in the Fall & Winter book. Seems strange to me that they didn't. One possibility might be the idea that tanks and canisters were gaining such popularity during that time period that even though the uprights were available, they weren't marketing them that much.

Birtman built the older Kenmore uprights,they were very good streamlined machines,I have a late 40s model and it cleans as well as anything that was on the market at the time. |

The cordwinder was a Sears option,looks like a Electrolux,but has a Kenmore molded plug on the cord. |
