Default Re: Baldwin Chevrolet and Motion Performance

1967. Baldwin Auto and Motion Performance were separate entities.
Prior to 67, Joel was doing his own thing under the Motion Performance name.... I believe as early as 1958.
I think his 1st "creation" was a 58 vette.

In 1972 when Baldwin Auto went out, joel still got cars through area dealers and tweaked them. Then he had some
"problems" circa 1975. After that, many of his cars were exported, as evidenced by the fellow in Iceland. He was
probably also the person who really put the "For offroad use only" wording on anything he did. This was mainly
to avoid the federal jackboot. I doubt joel had any problems selling a car to some idiot who can't drive. Like they
say - a fool and his money is soon parted. That's the other guys problem.
