The automotive industry is loaded with family-run businesses that rose from humble beginnings to become household names across the United States. Though the company name has been shortened from its original label, the AVS brand and what the organization stands for has certainly stood the test of time.

In the midst of the Great Depression, Jacksonville, Florida, native Asa Phillips started an automotive company called Auto Ventshade in 1935. The latter half of the company’s name derived from the Ventshade product. The Ventshade was an innovative device that mounted above car windows and allowed in natural air while keeping out any precipitation.

Looking to the future but still attempting to honor the past at the same time, Mr. Phillips’ son, Asa Phillips Jr., later oversaw the development of the Ventvisor project. Building off of the success of the Ventshade, the famed Ventvisor became one of the most trusted side window deflectors on the market. Made out of plastic instead of metal, the development of the Ventvisor demonstrated the company’s determination to evolve to meet the popular trends and the needs of its ever-growing customer base.

In 1998, Lund International acquired AVS, but despite the change at the top, the brand and the Ventshade product remained as popular as ever. In addition to the Ventshade, AVS began to develop and distribute a host of truck protection parts for a number of automotive brands.

Founded by and for truck enthusiasts, the fine folks at AVS have expanded their product line over the years in order to offer top-flight protection from the elements, flying debris, and anything else that could hinder your driving experience.
