After 60 years of automobile<br />
ex<strong>is</strong>tence, the last American<br />
made convertible vehicle rolled<br />
off the General Motors<br />
production line in 1976. It was<br />
a very uneasy time for us. We<br />
didn't know what the future had<br />
in store, but as always<br />
"Everything always works out!"<br />
In 1986 Dad<br />
was inducted<br />
into the Auto<br />
Upholsters Hall<br />
of Fame. It was<br />
a wonderful<br />
honor for him<br />
especially when<br />
h<strong>is</strong> award was<br />
presented to<br />
him by h<strong>is</strong> long<br />
time friend and<br />
“Father of our<br />
Auto Trim<br />
Industry”, Nat<br />
Danas. Rick, Dad,<br />
Nat and Skip. (L<br />
to R Below)<br />
We have always<br />
thought of our Dad as<br />
being a great contributor<br />
to the Auto Trim Industry<br />
and a special man. It<br />
was a terrifi c feeling for<br />
all our family knowing<br />
we were not being bias.<br />

"The Convertible Comeback"<br />
In 1982, Chrysler &<br />
Volkswagen brought<br />
the Convertible<br />
Automobile back.<br />
“Things worked out”<br />
and we fl our<strong>is</strong>hed due<br />
to the renewed<br />
interest in rag tops<br />
sparked by the<br />
realization of the<br />
possible value of<br />
restorable convertible<br />
vehicles.<br />
