Here is my new Hoover Z...a very cool vac with lots of glitz...It seems to clean very well with lots of suction. They were closed out at a very reasonable price so I grabbed one down at the employee sales center. My main complaint with it is the weight. I like the features and it grooms the...

Here is another version of your Decade 80...originally they were going to be "Convertibles" but later changed. This one is circa 1980. I do not think any other models of the Decade series were without headlights unless it was a commercial version. Great Hoover Find!!! --Tom

Happy Birthday guys....Thanks for posting all of the great pics. It looks like you all had a blast. My favorite picture is of the Hoover 62...that would be my vacuum of choice! I wish I could have been there. I wish you guys all of the best. Thanks again for the pics! Jeff...where is the...

Vacuumland... Ah well...nothing lasts forever. I do not blame the webmaster one bit. AW has always seemed like a nice friendly place. It is too bad that one really rotten bad egg had to spoil the dozen! Jeff... A regina????? Yikes!!!!! ***runs away very fast!!*** Charlie... I agree with...

All of this over ex-President Ford....REALLY? I mean we are talking about President FORD right? How funny...I had almost forgotten him! I mean if it had been a REALLY important President like President Harrison (You remember in office less than a month then died) then I could see all of the...

Jason...I hate Onstar too...don't like the fact that someone has the power to unlock my car and can track my every move. What happened to the good old days when you could just stick a coat hanger in the door and unlock it yourself? Do we really need all of this and if it is backed by GM look...

I won't buy American again...my '06 Accord sedan has been with me now for 7 months and not a glitch...this is much better than my Saturn, Chevy, or Olds that I bought new. My wife's '05 Honda Element is almost two years old and nothing but smooth sailing. We have gotten great service (oil...

I was thinking a big red and white Hoover logo mural on the wall...maybe a base coat of neptune green??? Just an idea.... --Tom

Thanks guys! I have contacted Doug through email...I have talked with him before and he knows Lawnboys. They are probably the best mower I have used at actually giving an even cut. I have to admit I love the smell they put out! I know it sounds stupid but it reminds me of when I was a kid...

Another view... Here is the little 19" Lawnboy again...

Here is my latest find while out looking for Hoover products. I ran across this well used 1968 Lawnboy model 5236. I just had to take it home! (I also bought a model 584 Convertible at the same house which is the same vintage!) It runs but is getting too much gas at this point. Someone has...

Washertalk...thank God someone said it! I have finally found someone else I can honestly agree with! Thank you for your most recent post...it has given me the strength to carry on until '08! I feel so out in left field and I hoped and know that there are other people out there that can take...

Yes...Oxydol you are right on the money! Does anyone else feel duped? I mean the guy goes into Iraq to finish what his daddy should not have done in the first place...he still has not captured enemy number one...I would support the war if he would send his daughters over there to...

My greatest fear??? Another Republican in the White House. It will take years to undo what one slack jawed yokel has taken just a few years to mess up. I know that my son who is almost two will be paying for W's mistakes. And how about those that have given the ultimate sacrifice? Those voices...

Congrats on the new Snapper mower. I bought a new "extra tough" model in 1985 when I was 13. It had the 4hp Briggs and Stratton engine with the cast iron sleeve and the rugged deck with the ball bearing wheels. I had been through two mowers the year before and saved enough money to buy a new...

Hoover Coffee Pots... The Hoover coffee perculators go back to 1955! Later in about 1965 they were badged Presto pots. The best ones were the ones that had the red Hoover logo that lit up red when your coffee was done. In the 1970's there were several models before Hoover pulled the plug on...

the 150... Kyle...the 150 is a sought after machine. It is difficult to find because of age. However, they did make a lot of them so I am sure that one will find its way to you. I will keep my eyes open for one...a good one for your collection. --Tom

Congrats Kyle! I am so excited for you. You will have to let us all know when it will air so that we can watch the show. You are going to have a great time. --Tom

and here is the rear... 1971 is the only year to have the vents in the decklid...and check out those tail fins...you thought Caddy was the last to have them right???

Fred...yes it is brown with a light brown/beige interior. I think the body is more of a dark bronze...I forget Oldsmobile's name for it. It was the top line Olds for '71 except for the Toro and it was the most popular model. Mine is complete with functioning rear seat clock just in case you...
