Does anyone know the year of the featured Westinghouse vacuum of the day?
Looks 50's to me. $125 was expensive. VERY cooool vacuum.

You're right-it is from the 1950s. 1954, to be exact. That Westinghouse model was a twin-fan model a la Singer, and was also made for Montgomery Ward as Catalog No. 8458A

Probably the strangest looking upright cleaner-looks like half of a tail finned car!

Here is mine..

But although it is similar to a Singer...its still all Westinghouse, mine is quiet, and cleans well...
