I seen that listing too and wondered the same.
Googling "Agnes Moorhead" and "Hoover" the answers lead right back to here. Fascinating stuff. Makes me wonder if the person selling it is a member here, or they found it in the Google. www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bi... | ||

contrary to popular mis belief
no the 33 was and never had ANYTHING to do with Agnes Moorehead. my spring issue of 1965 hoover worldwide had an interview with Faber Birren, the colorist hoover hired for the color schemes on thier appliances starting in 1956. Faber suggested the color for 33 even though he detested the color. they sold almost 500,000 units.
below is the part of the article talking about his color choice for the model 33 | ||

Like a Rainbow. They are all beautiful. They need only a tasteful display and an electric outlet.
