As you’re probably already aware, Ragtops & Roadsters founder Michael Engard announced his retirement and sale of the business recently. As the managing director of the new ownership team, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.
First, I’d like to thank you for your support of Ragtops & Roadsters and Pollock Auto Restoration over the years. You’ve helped shape the business that we are inheriting from Mike, and we intend to build on its 
strengths as we move forward. We will continue to provide restoration and maintenance services at the Ragtops & Roadsters shop in Perkasie and the Pollock shop in Pottstown. Both locations, however, will now operate as Ragtops & Roadsters.
In the coming weeks and months, you may notice some gradual changes as we get settled, starting with the new Ragtops & Roadsters logo. We’ll soon be updating the website and newsletter, and you may notice some new content on our social media channels.
What won’t change is our commitment to providing quality restoration and maintenance service to discerning car enthusiasts. We’re excited to lead our outstanding team of restoration professionals in their current roles while exploring new ways to meet the demands of an evolving classic vehicle market. And we certainly look forward to continuing doing business with you.
I’ll be splitting my time between Perkasie and Pottstown, but I look forward to meeting you at the shop or on the show field in the near future. If you’re ever in, please make a point to stop in and say hello.
Sincerely,
Bryan Joslin
Managing Director

After almost a year's worth of planning, I am very pleased to report that the 2019 ABRR was a major success! At the time of this writing, we are within a hundred dollars of last year's record number of $42,467. As you know, we drive for the kids every year and we have developed a loyal following. Over 70 percent of past year's ABRR Teams returned to run again! Sponsored by Hagerty with their roadside assistance program and the Ragtops & Roadsters support trailer, we again left no one behind! If you want to donate to push us over last year's record, just click here!
