The Wonderful Concept Car:

The sad thing about concept cars is that they almost never go into mass production. Just imagine how awesome it would be to have something looking like it came from the future roving the streets! If not affordable, it could certainly be a treat for the eyes.
However, the impractical and unconventional designs that go into creating a concept car require the use of non-traditional and more often than not, expensive materials, thus making them difficult to mass produce.

Concept cars are in essence prototypes. They are mostly displayed in auto shows, rallies, and automobile showrooms and often in car museums. Manufacturers include them in their usual product round-up for the primary purpose of gauging consumer reaction. A lot of unusual concepts are incorporated into concept cars which add to their uniqueness.

For instance, the Porsche Cayenne concept car unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show is half transparent and can travel up to 75 mph using an electric motor. Such a car would raise concerns over energy consumption and the practicality of its usage in day-to-day activities.

Most concept cars are not practical for daily use and after they serve their purpose, which is mainly to attract consumers, they are usually destroyed or broken apart. Very few designs go on to be actually produced, and even fewer achieve fame. One good example of the last is the Batmobile, the trusted vehicle of the fictional character Batman which was originally a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car designed by the Lincoln division of the Ford Motor Company.

We get a lot of ideas for our designs from revolutionary products like concept cars. The designers at SNUGTOP keep a close watch for designs that can make a vehicle look and perform better. The vehicle gear and accessories that we design are modern without losing out on functionality.

Cool Vehicles:

The Tokyo Motor Show 2007 had some really spiffy automobiles on parade. The amount of super-intelligent cars on display was mind-boggling.

Concept cars, super cars, sports cars, the lines of distinction were blurred for most of the car designers showcasing their talents. For instance, the new concept car from Nissan dubbed the ‘Round Box’ is a miniature convertible having a handy feature known as ‘Play Catch’ which shares driving information and entertainment. How neat is that!

Rollover to the some of the current cars that car manufacturers have to offer the car techno-geeks; a new concept car from the Volkswagon barn is a three seater, has an aerodynamic body, and OLED display and, check this out, a detachable trunk which the manufacturer claims you can carry around like a suitcase! Now that’s a car perfect for highly populated countries.

With global warming being such an issue, the 2057 Toyota Biomobile does something really great. It pulls in polluted air and uses it as an energy source! With cars like these, mother Earth can certainly heave a sigh of relief.

Some automobiles can be amazing toys for gadget geeks, while others can be caressed with the hands and in less than a second be a blur for the eyes. The innovations are amazing, the evolution sensational.

48 years ago SNUGTOP started out as a local auto store, and today it has reached the status of an established international brand synonymous with automobile accessories and car parts. Each product is crafted keeping in mind the highest standards of quality.

SNUGTOP – What We Are And What We Do:

Founded in the late ‘50s by entrepreneur Robert Kyle, SNUGTOP kick-started a legacy of automobile manufacturing that has held fast to its heritage and name till date, especially in the turf of reliable OEMs [original equipment manufacturers]. There has been no looking back for this California based company right from the time it manufactured its first fiberglass truck cap for the original Datsun mini truck in 1965.

Post 1965, SNUGTOP moved on to a major highlight in its success story bagging the OEM [Original equipment manufacturer] contract that was signed in 1979 with SUBARU of America.

The latest spoke to this rolling wheel of success was added with a partnership formed with Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A. Incorporated, when it developed an exclusive Super Sport truck cap for the Tacoma four-door Double Cab compact pickup truck establishing the first nationwide distribution relationship between an OEM and aftermarket truck cap manufacturer.

Today, besides the original truck cap which SNUGTOP started out with, toppers, tonneau covers, flat covers, lids, shells and commercial truck caps have been added to the growing list of SNUGTOP products on offer.

Truck accessories like, truck bed covers, and canopies too are reliable SNUGTOP gear which any automobile you invest in simply has to sport.

While there have been a score of brands that have been associated with the best there is in the history of automobiles, SNUGTOP is privileged to be one of the few who have made history.
