Ohio Pop-Top Company Info?

My wife and I found this van a couple of years ago and the only info I have found is this:

Pop-Top Company, Mentor OH

It's a simple design, light, and provides for stand up room 6'2". The mesh covered openings provide for excellent warm weather ventilation. No sleeping quarters up there. Leaves room on top for other things. Smaller cut roof opening.

The above article is from the seventies. Ours is a 1994. Anybody know anything about them?

That looks like it might be one of the original Sportsmobile tops somebody's grafted onto a newer body

Thanks for the info. Your reply caused me to do more searching.

The article in the link above was from the seventies, and mine is a 1994. It appears to be a full conversion, and the interior paneling, trim, hardware, tent material and outside pop top appearance is identical to this sixties conversion.

I've got the same issue w/ my Chef's Combi Wagon top. I found it on a built-up Dodge, and I can find a few photos of the pop-up on the interwebs, but that's as far as it goes.
Company has been gone for years.
Nice van!
