JoeG's 1969 Baldwin Motion SS L78 Chevelle

Joe I have a couple more questions as well.

When you decided that you wanted a Motion car did you choose this unique color combo or did you just take whatever SS L78 396 that Baldwin Chevy had on the lot.

Do you remember Baldwin Chevy's layout? What other Hi-Po cars did they have on the ground. Did they have a Motion prepared car in the showroom on display?

Did you ever keep the paperwork on your ride?

Frank,
Unique color combo----not a traditional chev color--nevertheless-I was already on the outs with my future other half for buying the car --so it was give and take--she didn't want stripes, no loud colors,no black-- she did like red with a black vinyl top---but there were a lot of red/black combos in brooklyn---I happened to see a 69 Chevelle convertable white top, burnished brown/parchment int--and it just caught my eye----so I said lets get a convertable---and she then proceeded to explain to me how gangs of roving thugs were going to hunt down our car and slash the convertable top into threads,-----scratch one convertable,-------- I just happen to like the white/ burnished brown combo----I asked the dealer if I could special-order a white vinyl top --he said yes--and my headache went away
I'd be blowing smoke if I told I remembered the inside of Baldwin Auto in detail-----Looked like any other car dealership that I had been in.----If there were any Motion cars on display at the time I was there--I would have remembered that---but they could have displayed a Motion car---then again Motion was only blocks away.---Joe--
