 ~ Another "shelter in place" project: A photo shoot of my Electrolux Silverado. It's hard to believe this vacuum cleaner is 37 years old!
I guess this dates me, but I remember when the Silverado came out. It was the first model since the Model E-Automatic to have a chevron pattern in the hose instead of stripes and I really liked its nostalgic appearance.
(I have an original Silverado hose but I don't like it, in spite of its beautiful appearance -- it's too short, too stiff and too heavy, same as for all the woven electric hoses. The genuine Electrolux replacement coiled vinyl hose is longer, more flexible, lighter in weight and far easier to use.) | ||

Chevron Olympias have the Chevron hose as well. Good looking machine with the new style power nozzle. | ||

My Silverado Deluxe 
With the Guardian Platinum. Yours is exactly like mine. PN5, vinyl hose and everything. The only thing I see that is different is yours has a short crevice tool whereas mine has the standard sized one. I really like the look of these! You got yourself a nice machine! That is one of my favorite models.

~ The Silverado is a fine vacuum cleaner in every regard. I love mine. I have had a couple come and go over the years, including a Silverado Deluxe (which I didn't like as much). This beautiful specimen with the hose and power nozzle came from Fred Nelson. I added the aluminum wands, combo floor tool, dusting brush, mini crevice tool and Sidekick to complete it. The gray bags are "period appropriate" to the Silverado. The literature is from my paperwork archives. | ||

Those are beautiful Silverados. Wonderful staging with that curtain backdrop. The hose upgrade= excellent choice. | ||

Swell-looking Silverado Deluxe set. Correction: The Olympia One 1401 and bronze Deluxe Special Model 1453, introduced in 1979, were equipped with a chevron pattern hose. | ||
