The Topper Sport Custom
In 1936 Maurice Schwartz, a partner in the firm of Bohman & Schwartz, constructed the "Topper" movie car for Hal Roach on a Buick chassis. Maurice followed a design by Anthony Garrity of Hollywood. According to Dan Post, the Topper Car gave youth to the infant custom-sport industry.[2]
