Convertible. It was on June 4, 1957 that the Hoover Convertible design was patented by Henry Dreyfuss. My Hoover guru, John Gregory, mentioned that it was patented on his birthday. How fun. And now we know. Should we bake the Hoover a birthday cake and let it eat it all alone?

Love my convertibles I've had through the years. So many have come and go and they all are great. My 66 is an absolute unit and is pretty much unused and I intend to keep it looking this good.

Stunning indeed! Love the 66! Those first Convertibles had such finished and refined look about them that seemed to fade in the 1970s model lineup. I love the minute details like the headlight trim. | ||

I feel bad I don't have any recent pictures of it after I cleaned it up. The cord is now white again and no marks on hood or base like the picture shows | ||

Marilyn
Had a model 68 that she just purchased in June, 1962 when she moved into her new home to vacuum her polar white plush carpet....it was on the police evidence list of the contents of her home in the Fox Nation documentary about her life and death. What a classy and stylish lady. She just picked bad boyfriends.

Files are locked for a reason
But thank you John G. for all the helpful information. You are really "The" Hoover guru. We should all make an annual pilgrimage to your amazing vacuum store - the land of Hoover.

Automatic hose connection
Just bend it over and shove it in for 50% more suction.

Thanks again to my best friend, Hans Craig for these Hoover demonstration tools. On the left is the demonstration tool for the constellation. On the right is the demonstration tool for the convertible. So lucky to have such good friends.

Who knew that Hoover used over 50 plastic parts on the convertible? Definitely trying to cheapen it for retail sales. I guess you could say that was the beginning of the end.

The Hoovrah also blows. And it blows hard. I guess you could call it a “blow hard “.
