They were probably the ones that engraved the new owners names on the plaques that were offered to new owners.

EXCELLENT assessment!....however, that isn't the connection!......Anyone else want to give this one a stab?

They took out an ad around Christmas time offering a Christmas gift to surpass all others: The limited production Avanti II automobile!   The ad stated that because of the 12 to 14 weeks required to custom build an Avanti II would prevent the car being ready for Christmas, a set of Avanti keys in a special presentation box was available to symbolize the gift.  You could place your Avanti II order at Robertson's in downtown South Bend or the Concord Mall in Elkhart.

The Altman's really were great salesmen....What a sensational idea!

I often wonder how different the story of the Avanti would have been had Nate lived.
