Remember when shell gas stations gave away redline hot wheels with gas purchase instead of charging $1.50 to use air/water hose.

Remember. When they built vaccum cleaners of this quality. They would last for 25 years and were serviable! Look at the cord on that Kirby vacuum.
Nowdays they a 3ft cord to save on copper wire costs.

And they’re made out of a plastic specially engineered to break within a year!

Yours looks awesome! Nice to see one with the hood where it belongs and not propped up on those ridiculous stilts!
I really love the Road Runner's and the A12's..... but it's getting a old seeing them with the stilts, I'd rather see them as @bluefury361 posted his. IMHO

Here is another pic from that show. I got there fairly early and parked my car in the A12 area and then went walking around. Came back and there was another white A12 parked next to mine.

I shot my '48 triumph with an Electrolux just like that one way back in the '50s. Took way more time to polish out that lacquer and reassemble it then it did to shoot it. Read here that their weren't no power polisher at my house back then, Jer

The late Stan Kann, a St. Louis celebrity, known for playing the Mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ at the Fox Theater, was probably the biggest collector of vacuum cleaners. He was on the Tonight Show many times.
We had one of those Hoover Constellations way back when. They even had models like old Dodges, 220, 440, 880. Even came in different colors. The exhaust exited out the bottom and the unit floated on air. Worked great on hardwood. Complete failure on carpet.

I had a old industrial duty Kirby, the thing weight a ton and was louder then a jet in afterburner!
