Our Reputation is Tops - Electron Top

Grandpa Yudt behind his desk in the
showroom of Richmond Hill Auto Top; The Shop on
Hillside Avenue, with an early display of
Electron Top in their showroom (Right).
Like most family run business’, the past generation
continued to lend moral support and share their
knowledge even after retirement. Grandpa would
occasionally stop in and see how things were
going (Below).
Our Dad was the fi rst president of the
Automotive Trimmers Association of
New York.
Back in
the 50’s
there were
“Trimorama”
competitions
and our Dad
won 2nd
place with
the seats
pictured to
the right.

Grandpa Yudt was a wonderful man whose
kind heart was exposed on a regular basis.
He was a true gentleman and a person who
loved to laugh, tease and sing. He kept a
little black book in his drawer that he would
write jokes in and keep the grandchildren
entertained with the many puns held in its
interior. His days as an apprentice in
Yugoslavia were long gone, but the conviction
he gained for honesty and integrity stayed
with him till his passing in 1986.
