If you have a Linda-Blair-Puke-Green rug, it stands to reason you'd want a matching vacuum. Especially one with a superior beater-bar brush. Why, you could put it in the middle of the rug and watch people trip over it.

One detail makes it a true inhabitant of the world of 1973: Wood-grained Plastic, for that elegant touch. As I've said before, the only thing for which wood-grained plastic is appropriate is the casket of the man who invented wood-grained plastic. And note the price on this sucker: In modern dollars, that's about $440. But it has a "two-speed motor," for those times when you just want to scare the dust and move it around a little. Maybe herd it around for later.
