James,

What a handsome quartet. Some people "do chicken right," you do Kirby and yourself proudly. Nice work as always! Billy

Those are indeed beautiful machines. I don't have anything that old in my collection. I could almost cover the next four decades but I'd have to bump things up a year for my Classic III (1976), Heritage II Legend (1986), G5 (1996) and Sentria (2006).

Nice finds, you can really see how they developed the design and perfected the airflow over time with them all side by side like this.

Jim,

And then, after the Dual Sanitronic 50, you'd also line up the following:
Kirby Classic Omega 1CB (still being made in 1975)
Kirby Heritage II 2HD (still being made in 1985)
Kirby G4 (still being made in 1995)
Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition (still being made in 2005)
Kirby Avalir I (still being made in 2015)
