Arnolt-Bristol

Sean Smith

If it moved, Stanley Harold Arnolt II had something to do with it. He built bomb racks and fuel lines for warplanes. He built heavy-based ashtrays for club cars on railroad trains. He built boat trailers for Sears and the preeminent marine spotlight, the Iva-lite. Designed for use on boats, it found its way onto emergency vehicles due to its unique ability to make a 360-degree turn. He also owned a boat company, North American Marine, that imported a craft called the Amanda, a precursor to the Ski-doo, but way too far ahead of its time.

Then there were the automobiles—the Arnolt MG and the Arnolt Bristol.
