Next, a tan G that belonged to my Aunt Kathy's parents, and when they passed on, she and her two sisters gave it to me, and were tickled to death that I restored it. |

WOW, those are beautiful! Thank you for sharing! The Lux Model G has a special place in my heart,,,they were a very popular machine where i was growing up. There evidently was a very busy Electrolux office in the area. A favorite Aunt had the torquise (sp?) model G, bought new in 1964. They had several different types of carpet in their very large 1960s home. I always loved to go over there and "Help" her vacuum! It was fun to see how the Model G and PN 1 handled that large house and all the different types of carpet without missing a beat. As primitive as the PN 1 is today,,i can still remember being very impressed as to how clean the carpets were and the entire house was after using the Model G with PN1. I remember her house as being absolutely spotless at all times. This Aunt was one of those persnickity 1950/60s housewives where there couldnt possibly be one speck of dirt or dust showing in her house, or else she was on the warpath!,,with the Model G in tow, of course! Interesting too that she wouldnt have anything but an Electrolux in her home. I know there was an old Model XXX in the garage, that uncle used to clean out the garage, cars, and furnace with. It was evidently replaced in the house by the Model G. I remember they traded the Model G for a new Electrolux Olympia 1 in around 1980 when they first came out. Had to keep up with the times! haha |
