That's a neat ad Don !

Okay , here goes . . .  What was AMT Corp . called before it was AMT Corporation ?   It started in 1948 building promos for Ford .

[Draggon]

It was called SMP. 

[TooOld]

I think that AMT bought or merged with SMP in 1959 but that's not the original name .

( I know I'm gonna start something here )
