Stop in for a cup of coffee

Thanks guys. Back in the day, I was considered one of the best Auto Upholstery guys in the Philly Tri-state area. I did thousands of vinyl tops, convertible tops, Roadster tops, seat covers, carpets, door panels...the works. I also did a bunch of high-end custom limos and a dozens of custom cars that won awards at the Philly area car shows. That '56 Caddy pulled $60k at the Atlantic City Classic Car Auction in 1993.

I ran the business from '82-'89 before I shut it down and went to work at DuPont Engineering. The Carpal Tunnel damage to my hands had gotten to be too much and the feast-or-famine cycle of the business was killing me. Too much work in the nice weather and nearly nothing during the cold months. It was just eating up too much of my life with no time to enjoy doing much of anything when the weather was nice. I knew I would never last physically doing it all myself and good talent to do the work was nearly impossible to find.

I look back without regret and feel pride in what I did then...and I'm very glad I moved on when I did.

I do however still have dreams of installing vinyl tops. I used to be able to strip one off and replace it in under an hour out the door...all for around $75.
