The man behind the beautiful Arnolt-Bristol cars started out as a mechanical engineer in the Midwest United States before the second World War.\u00a0 When the company he worked for in 1939 went under, Stanley Harold Arnolt purchased the patents for a small outboard marine engine for mere pennies, and in a few years transformed it into millions of dollars when the Navy needed such a motor for their small water craft during World War II.<\/p>\n<p>This was the beginning of an empire for S. H. Arnolt, also widely known as \u201cWacky\u201d Arnolt, who post-war would branch out into dozens of companies, several of which were automotive-based.<\/p>\n<p>Arnolt\u2019s passion for sports cars began in 1949 when he purchased an MG T.C.\u00a0 He was so smitten with the little British roadster that he went to his bankers and borrowed a million dollars to establish S.H. Arnolt, Inc. at 153 East Ohio Street, Chicago, Illinois, with the money going to procuring 1000 Morris Minors for his newly-established Chicago dealership.\u00a0 Wacky, however, was still not content with the fact that he virtually exploded onto the auto scene as a prime time player practically overnight.\u00a0 Arnolt set his sights on becoming an auto manufacturer, and after a visit to the Turin Auto Show in 1952, he walked away owning a large portion of Nuccio Bertone\u2019s company that was showing off two MG chassis with hand-crafted Bertone bodywork.\u00a0 Bertone was going broke, and Arnolt was more than glad to assist the small Italian coach builder to return to operating in the black.<\/p>\n<p>With Bertone in his pocket, Wacky went to England and visited Bristol Cars.\u00a0 At the time, he had his eye on the 404, a sleek coupe built on a 96-inch wheelbase.\u00a0 Bristol was using the pushrod 2-liter six of BMW origin that the English company won the rights to as part of war reparations.\u00a0 These engines, complete with four-speed gear boxes, were mounted to the chassis and shipped to Bertone\u2019s factory in Italy for body fitting.<\/p>\n<p>Bertone delivered by crafting a fluid-like form in steel with aluminum hood and deck lid.\u00a0 Lacking any embellishments, the body of the Arnolt-Bristol gives one\u00a0the sense\u00a0that the vehicle\u00a0is\u00a0traveling at high speed, even when sitting stationary.\u00a0 The Bristol engine was rated at 130HP, and gave the 1800lb car the ability to reach 60 mph in just over 8 seconds, quite sporting in its day.\u00a0 The aluminum-bodied cars, of which five were produced, were used primarily for racing efforts, with three cars being retained by the Arnolt factory and campaigned at Sebring, achieving a 1-2-4 finish in the two-liter class in 1955 and 1956.<\/p>\n<p>Arnolt\u2019s passion for building and racing sports cars ran out in 1957, when late in the 12 Hours Race at Sebring, Bob Golditch was killed when the Arnolt-Bristol he was co-driving with S.H. Arnolt braked too late going into a corner\u00a0and flipped over.\u00a0 The loss of his teammate, and the fact that none of the cars sold up to that point made a profit, caused Wacky to begin to back away from the Arnolt-Bristol venture.\u00a0 In 1960, Wacky gave Walt Inai and Juan Lopez permission to take two cars to Sebring.\u00a0 Drivers Max Goldman and Ralph Durbin won the two-liter class, and campaigned in a total of nine races that year, with six first place finishes.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the 142 Arnolt-Bristols produced, twelve were lost in a fire, and the remaining 130 were sold between 1954 and 1963, with Arnolt losing money on each sale.\u00a0 Five of the cars were bodied in aluminum, and two were constructed as coupes.\u00a0 Today, nearly 90 of the original 130 cars have been accounted for and continue to cause a stir at Concours events and vintage race meetings the world over.\u00a0 The history of this truly global sports car speaks for itself in terms of performance, and with the car featured in the ad from <em>Road &amp; Track<\/em>\u2019s May 1972 issue being one of the five aluminum-bodied cars, a little rarity will never hurt resale value either.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roadandtrack.com\/\">Road and Track<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Will Silk The latest Classified Ads from the Past is a rare all-aluminum 1955 Arnolt-Bristol offered for sale in the pages of Road &amp; Track in 1972 for $6,000.
