Thank you for the date! Say, was there any different variations of the C6 in the years that it was made? VW |

The c6 came in many different colors and power nozzle options. Also had different decals on the side. |

Yes, I see that his just says Electra on the bottom of the Compact logo and mine says IEC Electra. It came in different colors? I thought it only came in that pretty robins egg blue. VW |

c-5 was 3 wheeled. c-6 had 2 casters in front, I never heard of a c-6 with 3 wheels. |

Well, call it CRS, we all know what that stands for. It is Anaheim, I remember as a kid I always thought of Disney!! But she is a C4, 5 amp from Interstate Precision Products Corp.I think that makes it about 1959, however my confusion is understandable as it looks just like the C5 pictured! Anyone got any ideas here??? Please??

The c4 came with the flat lid and an bump hose port in about 4 different colors in it's production. That list is not an accurate way to gauge differences in compacts at all |
