    LOL, Got the misses a "new" vac***. Vintage Electrolux. Absolutly love the style on this thing and it works like a champ!

    I know it's OT but hey it's got wide whites!

    Seriously, I figured you guys could appreciate the style if not the housework.

    You could shave all the handles and section the body, or put in a 220v motor and Fab some tiny hub caps. Either way, slap on some chrome and the Mrs could have a tuned up vintage machine.

    Cool piece of history there. Probably will still be running like a champ long after the $$$ plastic version fresh from China is cluttering the local landfill

    Ha! I have an almost identical one. It works great but it's kinda beat up. 1978 or so I think.

    My mom had a green and white one just like that and used it all the time. Very cool to see one again!
