Additional Information

Arnolt 221 was first purchased by John Kiner from Columbus Motor Mart, December 1st 1953. After many years of use, the car was sold to Jack Mendenhall, but repurchased by Kiner. Kiner’s family sold the car to John Elwood in the fall of 2018. 221 was originally “Haze Blue” but was also once school bus yellow, before returning to an approximation of Haze Blue, sometime before 1995. There is evidence the car was at one pointed fitted with a V-style engine, but it has since returned to an XPAG engine. The car has never been fully restored, but continuously maintained., modified, and unmodified by John Kiner who advertised himself in 1963 as “Servicing: High Performance Foreign Cars Antiques-Rolls Royce-Ferrari-Mercedes-Bugatti”. As of 2020, the car is in good to fair condition with some amateur body work. The current owner intends to use the car as a driver while it is still presentable, and eventually restore it.
