Put this in the 80s spot because I really cant tell, but I came across this pic of a vacuum shop and IDK what vacuum this is? It definitely looks older but I dont know how old. IDK if it is but is it the base of a metal Convertible? Just was curious.

thats the base of an 1178 power drive dial a matic from 1974/5. here are the spec sheets for that machine
also thats from the hoarder lady who owns irving vacuum in irving texas. she hates collectors. someone will really score decent stuff from that shop when she dies. she REFUSES to sell any old vacs thinking collectors will just rip her off and flip her stuff. when in reality its money for stuff no one else cares about but us. | ||

Don't know if this counts but....
There was a store I went to a few months ago where there was some 00s vacuums in the windows display. There are stores that sell refurbished models and I figured I'd give it a shot. On Google maps the display kept changing so I figured those machines in the windows kept getting sold. I went in and asked if the Windtunnel Plus with dirt finder and red translucent bag door was for sale. Really great and nice looking cleaner. Alas, they were only display pieces. I don't always know if shop owners are collectors themselves so I just say bs like I'm looking for a refurbished vac because the older ones are usually better. They always try to sell me a $500+ Riccar or Sebo I have no interest in. I don't really see such a difference performance wise. I just go yup yup mmhmm and then walk out.
