In 1950, Cincinnati, Ohio's Ed Robben bought Armbruster, a Fort Smith,
Arkansas-based airport limousine maker. Stageway Coaches, a large
Cincinnati-based distributor of Armbruster's products was purchased by
Robben from Queen City Chevrolet in 1962. Stageway relocated to Fort
Smith and was now given exclusive rights to distribute Armbruster's coaches.
Upon Dobben's death in 1966, Milt Earnhart, his son-in-law, assumed
ownership, and combined the two operations renaming the firm
Armbruster/Stageway Inc.
