SNUGTOP was founded in 1959 under the name Custom Hardtops by Long Beach, California auto supply retailer Robert Kyle. In the late 50’s, Bob Kyle’s local auto supply store sold hardtops for European sports cars, among other aftermarket products. As customer complaints mounted over the quality of those hardtops, he decided the only way to improve and control the quality was to manufacture his own. Calling the new sports car tops “SNUG Products by Custom Hardtops”, Bob launched SNUGTOP.

Ever the entrepreneur and always looking to expand his business, Bob entered the truck market in 1965, manufacturing the first fiberglass truck cap for the original Datsun mini truck followed soon after by tops for Chevy El Camino and Ford Ranchero trucks. He marketed his products directly to truck dealers since there were hardly any independent truck cap dealers or restylers, as we know them today.
