True? False, it was not Avanti Motors. Fremont F. Ellis traded his 1963 Avanti and one of his paintings to Ray Altman for his 1967 Avanti II.

Just like I had to clarify for you in Avanti Record that the #9 Avanti did not run 178.50 mph at Bonneville. Now clarify this. Since Nate Altman did not have a brother Ray how did this transaction occur? Nate had two brothers Arnold D. and Herman S. Altman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfg Posted January 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Isn't it sad that a simple, fun, trivia question can be turned into something argumentative when a responder's goal is to pick...pick...pick.... whenever he gets a chance. Time for a break! Â Edited January 4, 2023 by mfg text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
