I wonder if there was any connection to the Arnolt Bristol roadster of the 50's.

My former employer (in another life) owned an Arnolt Bristol along with two Allards, a few MG's, a Bristol Coventry, two Lotus', and Sterling Moss's "7-Day Wonder". He still has them all. .

After Jeff's response I binged Arnolt Corp. and found plenty of info on it and the cars they imported, but nothing about a company gun club. Briefly --
S.H. Arnolt Inc. of Chicago and Warsaw, Indiana sold four different manufacturer's cars with Bertone bodies during the period 1953 to 1968. Stanley H. "Wacky" Arnolt was a Chicago industrialist, who began importing foreign cars in the 1950s to the United States. |

Perhaps they were the benefactors of a local club?
