took a pic of this guy at thrift world today. it was tagged as $4.99 i turned it on, and it worked, but a cloud of dust shot out the back, and sounded like it needed some mechanical loving. seeing as i promised myself to only stay with kirby's or id end up with more vacs than i have room for, i passed on it, though really wanted to take it home.
im guessing it's a mid 1970's vintage from the style, but lacking the headlight that era had, im not sure if it may have been a commerical version? anyway, here's the pic. costmetically it looked nice as you can tell, not much tlc would have been needed to be done to it. i found a kirby classic III here once, and is the same place i got my heritage II from.

Nice vac. I believe you are correct about the mid to late 70's vintage on that. I wish I had the willpower to pass vacs up because my collection is growing very fast indeed! | ||

dmj, i passed on it. i have 2 kirby's that still need restoring (classic III and tradition) and as much as i would've loved to pick up that convertible, im going to stick to kirby or ill end up with more vacs than i honestly have room for! because the 70's era hoover's of this kind are kinda growing on me.... maybe when im in a place of my own...
