Other than the bag which is a 1960s Kirby OEM replacement it's in really good shape.

Those wheels and the nozzle air vent look 70s also.

Anything I think sweet aire cap and rotor were red. The wheels i think 60 and 61 were red. The red hues are different but I have old red wheels from 560 and 561.
The 70s wheels would have the little nob pretruting.
The trim could be painted. I actually have a red bag topper but bag toppers came in 562. I know the classic 3 has a distinct shape. I wonder if it was a replacement for original.

I have a D50 that was "rebuilt" at the time the Classic III was new. The trim was red, but a slightly lighter, more vibrant shade, much like this 560. I think this was rebuilt during that time. The Sweet Aire cap was definitely red originally, but the wheels... Reply 3 in this thread. www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bi...

Your red bag top was from one of the rebuild kits sent to vac shops in the 70s and 80s. I've also seen them in blue and I think they offered a green one. Reply 22 here: www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bi...
