I went to a thrift store yesterday and found a Hoover. It was in bad shape, and the store was closing, so I did not buy it. I was just wondering if this was a rarity or not. It had a very large Hoover logo on the base, like at least 2 time bigger than the normal size. It had a yellow outer-bag that said " Convertible Special" on the bottom. Brown cord. I think the model number stared with a 5, with three numbers. The handle needed it be oiled REALLY badly, and the brush strips were there, but less than a 1cm of brush remains. So with that said I think the motor might be in bad shape. (I did not turn it on) Thanks Nathaniel | ||

Yes, in the days of the convertible, "Special" was codeword for cheap lol. Specials also lacked the full wrap-around bumper guard. | ||

The huge Hoover badge means that its an early model. The earlier Convertibles are getting somewhat harder to find. I would definitely pick it up. | ||
