Default Re: Baldwin Chevrolet and Motion Performance

Joel may have still used the name Baldwin Motion for a short time after Baldwin Chevy closed. It still was valid in a way because Motion Performance was still located on Sunrise Highway in Baldwin LI NY. I have an article by Marty Schorr that was writen after 1973 that still called them Baldwin Motion cars but most of the ads use the name Motion Perfromance after 1973. As far as Dan's question on the post 1973 cars not sold by real car dealership. I would guess that it may not have been a problem. What may have happened was Joel took a deposit on the new car then purchased it in the new owner's name from whatever source was available. Then the car was modified at the Motion shop as if it was repair or custom work such as a race car, show car, or export car. This is just a guess as I have not checked into it.
