History Of Beaver Stripes & Molding Supply
As Presented by Trudy Bellingrodt. Thank you Trudy!

Beaver Stripes was started by Vincent Beaver in the late 1970's, in the Phoenix area. The business consisted mainly of selling Pinstriping Tape & Rivet on Body Side Molding (remember this was the 70's), to Installers. In 1982 it was bought by Wolf & Trudy Bellingrodt. who operated the business for the next 25 Years. Accessories were added to the inventory, such as Roof Racks, Running Boards, Car Wings (Spoilers) and other Small Automotive Accessories.

In 1992 Beaver Stripes purchased the Competing store "Trik Trim", in the east valley, (Tempe AZ), and acquired the "3M" Automotive Trim Distributorship, along with a complete line of Detail Products from "Production Car Care Products". Beaver Stripes Distributed products from both stores and two mobile trucks that called on Body Shops, Detail Shops and Dealerships in the Phoenix Valley.
Beaver Stripes doubled in size when Vinyl Signs were added in the early 90's. But in 2002 the the Trik Trim store was closed and everything was moved to and sold through the McDowell Ave Store.
Wolf passed away a few years later and health issues caused Trudy to sell the business to Michael White.

Too Bad, everyone. Since I am writing this web and article, I get the first dibs... Hah!

The most Important Date I Remember Beaver Stripes for is, "9-11". It was not more than a day after, that someone came by our shop (local to theirs) and offered "Cut Vinyl Stickers" for windows and vehicles. The stickers were Red, White and Blue, and were simple but yet, got the meaning across. " We Will Never Forget" the most important thing was they were "Cheap", Not (Cheap) but priced to cover cost! As we were all in the area that were used to seeing airplanes flying overhead during the day, it was like silent?! The community came together!
But then I do have more fun, less impacting memories of Wolf and Beaver Stripes, but you will have to check out the Current Team, so I don't take up all the space on this page.
