Bob - I was wondering if any of the locals would know Beil's. Gordy owns it and operates it and his son and several other workers are on the payroll. I got the grand tour which was a lot of fun. The attic is like a maze and holds an impressive stock of vintage cloth/vinyl/leather. He has some very rare upholstery, vinyl roof, and convertible top material in his storage facility. Some of it dates back to the 20's and 30's. Plenty of sixties/seventies stuff too . He is very proud of his business and is in the process of turning it over to his son.

Yep..Clark near Peterson. Bet he would remember a 53 Skylark coming out of there with what looked like a new top. Damn car looked near to rallye green...just beautiful with a white convert top.
