Footer Posted December 31, 2022 Report Posted December 31, 2022 Would make an interesting story to find out what it is, who painted it, and who now has it. Mike

Mike Apparently it was a 1967 Avanti ll...There is more info on this deal in Avanti Magazine #116....I do not have that issue.

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.

You really need to brush up on your Avanti history Bobby!!!

pantera928 Posted January 2, 2023 Report Posted January 2, 2023 It was a painting AND an older Avanti

mfg Posted January 2, 2023 Author Report Posted January 2, 2023 Once again Answer to question...TRUE!
pantera928 Posted January 2, 2023 Report Posted January 2, 2023 I was just trying to clarify for you what I think that Bob meant.

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.

The family quite often referred to 'Herman' as 'Ray'..... I'm a bit surprised a knowledgeable fellow like yourself didn't know that bobby!

mfg Posted January 4, 2023 Author Report 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! Edited January 4, 2023 by mfg text
