Nice Convertible, Pete!
I didn't know anyone personally who had a 33 when I was a kid, but I do remember seeing them at the O'Neil's store and a couple of hardware stores back in the day. My Aunt who gave me my Westinghouse cannister did have a model 32 (the pink one), but it was long gone, or I would have snagged it when I got the Westinghouse! And I agree with Tom, it's one of the prettiest Convertibles Hoover ever made! Jeff | ||

A bit of erasering. I'm just wondering if those "color back" paint/wax products for cars would cover any chips etc.. Never tried them.. maybe I should buy a bottle and see. Here it is a little cleaner

I'd rather live in an upscale Mid Century of the '50s than today's upscale McMansions. Did you ever watch "Kids In The Hall"? It of course was a Canadian comedy program, but it had a filmed skit about a typical '50s gay guy stereotype, who had ordered a slave from a mail order company. It was shot in black and white, they had a scene on a street with a few 1956 cars and those fabulous brick ranches in the background. Really funny show altogether.
