Hi: I just joined Vaccumland tonight and have a Hoover question to ask. What year was the Hoover Convertible Model 1076 produced? Is the base on this model metal? Thanks, Bob. |

Hi Bob and welcome! The 1076 was produced between 1971-1973, and yes, metal base and a very good example of a late model convertible. The colors were ceylon yellow hood with base and trim of light and medium taupe. |

Hi. New here also. I bought a 1076 with my paper route money in 1975. It was at a Jewelcor, the floor model, no box. It was $59.00 I still have the papers, etc. I then bought 1031 white tools for $10.00. It was my first purchase, still in MINT condition. Fantastic machine. Now, I have all 4 floral bag design cleaners. The 70's were awful, but probably HOOVER'S finest hour. Anyone agree?
