I am wondering about the tilted Hoover Constellations. I read here the first was in 1967. I have a tilted version in white and orange labeled Penncrest for JCPenney. I did a search on Google Newspapers and found an ad from 1965 that looks like my cleaner. So were the first tilted Constellations actually Penncrests?

I just thought maybe the tilted version was created for Penncrest, as the ad says 1965, and I didn't know Hoover had them that early.
Constellations are one of my favorite vacuums, they look so neat and how they float is awesome. I also really like how they sound, my favorite Hoover canister for sure. |
