Baldwin Motion information In my Opinion

[JoeG]

Someone posted the 1969 Baldwin/Motion catalog, which mentioned options and the PhaseIII package ,which was Motions attempt to offer a recognized( standard total performance package), on which the customer could modify to his taste or pocketbook --JoeG---The Hone-o-Drive was not available till 1970.

I spent the day in long Island today ....found out alot of stuff about the cars and the dealership .and the people that worked for Motion ....came home with a catalog and other cool stuff including original emblems..really tired right now just got in but will include some of what i was told about Motion by People who lived close by there before it was Motion.....also stories from a former employee who joel sponsored

JoeG odered through Baldwin your absolutely correct but if you had a Motion car you bought earlier that year or even say in 67 Motion would have been more than happy to add one on for you ...make it easier to get around town for a nominal fee ..now does that make the car not original I guess is up to the owners or buyers opinion...They are the words of A prior Motion Mechanic...I asked as many Questions about these car as I possably could and I beleive that most of the people that I spoke too would'nt pull my leg...Great People on the Island spent hours talking to Dealership owners ..People let me into there garages to look at there cars(not Motions) ..gave me a rundown of the neighborhood I just had a great day wished I lived in such a neighborhood myself.
I'm going to post a few pictures of what I seen and brought home there is writing on top of the Motion Products just to avoid scammers from downloading them and using them to pretend owning and selling on ebay and other sources

Sorry didn't mean to be so vague--I did mean the Hone-o-Drive was not offered from Motion until 1970.I had found out by word of mouth from Motion in '69 that an overdrive was being offered later in the season/next season.Don't know of any pre-'69 cars with an overdrive installed,but there could have been like you said.--Nice find with all the Motion Pperformance memorabilia--JoeG
