I think Good Times and CVI were both owned/operated by the same guy, Mr
Russell, who is also the guy that proposed buying the Scout and keeping
it in production after IH announced the end.  I think Good Times was
there first and CVI was formed to set up the conversion operation in Fort
Wayne for 1980.  I've never seen this documented, but that's how I
thought it all fit together.
