Very cool.....Did you know that the Thomas family are the ones that actually started Clinton engines there in Michigan? In the 50's he expanded and bought the Iowa factory, In the late 50's he was trying to expand more and was bought out by an investment company....which were the ones that ran it into bankruptcy and Marty Hoffinger is the one that bought it and brought them back into production (he made the Lomart bikes couple of years after purchasing Clinton engines). Part of the property or at least next door to the original Clinton factory (which was a power station or something like that at the turn of the 20th century) is the address they used for the Thomas Mini bikes/products. in the 70's......They only seemed to use Tecumseh engines though for some reason.
Useless fun facts I dug up one day while researching and connecting dots
