Summary edit

Description

During the early 1950's, Arnolt realized a market for sports cars in the United States. Using a Bristol 400 chassis, the Arnolt Bristol was in production, featuring Bertone hand-formed steel body and aluminum-skinned hoods. The car featured British running gear, Italian bodywork, and American sales and distribution. The similarities between the Shelby Cobra's and the 'Bolide' are undeniable. The 'Bolide' was a true racing bred sports car. Without a top, carpeting, windshield wipers, or adjustable seats, the car was void of amenities and very light-weight. In 1955, an Arnolt Bristol finished first in class at the 12 Hour of Sebring. Two other Arnolts finished second and fourth. They went on to win their class at Sebring in 1956 and 1960.

In total, only 142 Arnolt Bristols were created. Three were coupes, a few were powered by Chevrolet V8's, and a few were all-aluminum bodied cars.
