In Memory of Nat Danas: 1922-2012

May 23, 2012 By Nadeem Muaddi

The Hog Ring is saddened by the passing of Nat Danas – a pioneer, leader and role model to many in the auto trim industry. Founder of the National Association of Auto Trim Shops and Auto Trim and Restyling News, Danas dedicated his life to building a strong and connected community of auto trimmers. His accomplishments and contributions to our industry are far too many to list and have reached far too many to count. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. May he rest in peace.

For a moving industry salute to the life and times of Nat Danas, see Hotrod & Restoration Magazine.

    So sorry to hear that Nat Danas passed away. Several years ago he called me about convertible tops and there profits of doing them. We had a nice chat that day. I had a subcripotion to a magazine he wrote for. Auto Trim and restyling. My sympathies to his family.
