I've got a number of 370 Juniors and I also haven't seen one in the flesh, which has been polished up like this. My theory is that they weren't polished up like this in the factory and that someone has done this more recently in the machine's history. Of course it's possible, as you say, that Hoover might have done this as a Special..but then the machine would have needed to be kept repolished somewhat to maintain this sort of gleam surely? Is there any reason why you can't take a rather faded 370 and buff it up in this way? Perhaps I'll give it a go when I get chance? just my thoughts, Stephen |

I love the 370 and 375 too. They're both beautiful machines. |

That Hoover 370 Junior might be the best looking metal vacuum i have ever seen. Pure awesomeness! I only know machines of this era from the Royal's i have. That Hoover is so far ahead of Royal it makes my head swim. Funny my Dad used to use that expresion and would have seen one of these no doubt during the 50's and 60's in his travels through the northern mid west as a floor covering sales rep. for the Kentile corporation.
