Hi Monty, I believe I recall there was info on the old restoration resources pages for the Ski Coop? I can't find that info and was wondering if it is still posted somewhere? The Ski Coops were produced in the city I work in, Ashtabula, Ohio. I see a couple for sale on Facebook and that got me wondering about them again. Would be a shame to loose that vintage info about them that you had collected.  |

Cool! Old site info below!
Made by Roller Reinforced Fiberglass (RRF).
* Located in Ashtabula, Ohio.
* Also, made parts for Rupp Snowmobile and Chevrolet Corvette.
* Made a limited run of Ski-Coops in the mid-sixties.
* Idea was to protect snowmobiles year around from the elements.
Here's an E-mail just sent in :
Hi, I was on your website today and noticed you were looking for info on Roller Reinforced Plastics.
I am located in Ashtabula, Ohio, where the company had it's business. I made a phone call today to a business called Hughes Roller just out of curiosity to see if they were somehow connected.
The nice lady on the phone informed me that the father of Joe, who runs Hughes Roller now, formed RRF. RRF changed business focus in the early nineties. She does know that they were in business in 1965.

Cool, thanks for posting that old advertisement. Would be cool to have one of those since there probably aren't many out there.
