Our
parent
company was formed in the late fall of 1998 by two
brothers David and Stan Langford and continues under
the present ownership.
The
genesis of Real Estate URLs stretches back to the early
sixties when David, the proud owner of a bright red
1959 Pontiac convertible realized that he could
re-arrange the letters that spelled PONTIAC on the
rear of his car to spell TOPCAT ...if he picked up a
few extra letters at his local GM dealer. |
 |
| A
weekend was lost removing the old letters, filling the holes,
repainting and then finally drilling and resetting the
modified letters in the the back of the car. The
transformation was complete. What was once known a
"my car" would forever be referred to as the "TOPCAT"
The brothers were amazed how many people noticed the name and
commented on it. By the way, you won't have to do all
that work with your Real Estate URLs nameplate
...Its held on with automotive grade adhesive.
It installs in seconds.

| Thirty years
later, younger brother Stan was looking for a way to promote
his new media company and thought the companies website
address on the back of a flashy sports car might be the
ticket. After an exhaustive search it was clear
automotive quality letters were not available. Everyone he
contacted agreed they should be... and now they are. |
| Since their
introduction in late 1996 over 80,000 nameplates have been
sold |
Both Topcat the
car and Topcat the cartoon series are long gone
...but the
concept of custom lettering lives on. |
