OTHER MOTION DEALERS
 

I know this is a baldwin motion discussion page, but I just had a few questions. During the years 67-74 did motion buy from any other dealers. If so were they just called motion cars and https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif how much would they be worth in comparison to a baldwin bought vehicle. I read on a motion sight that motion used williams and lyons chev after baldwin closed. Does anyone out there have a williams or a lyons motion car just out of curiosity

Re: OTHER MOTION DEALERS
 

Baldwin Chevy became Lyon Chevrolet in about 1972. There was an Oldsmobile dealer, Mack Markowitz in Hempstead and together they put together a cutlass. I'll get a picture of that.
Williams Chevrolet, I think was in Freeport, the next town East from Baldwin. I'm sure Glenn can correct me if that is wrong. I know when vehicles were not available locally they were obtained from whoever had them.

Any documented Motion prepared vehicle is worth as much as a buyer will pay.

I have never heard any of the later cars refered to as "Lyon Motion" cars. Not sure if there was still a big connection when the dealer changed hands.

My past car (the 1972 yellow vette on Corvette Fever this month) was purchased brand new at Hustedt Chevrolet in Center Reach New York. Per my conversations with Joel after
Baldwin closed he purchased cars from a couple of different places.

that is corect. I believe one of the gt vettes came from a dealer in New Jersey.

Come on Chris - This confused us all a couple months ago and the final consensus was -
Baldwin - Williams - Lyons!


Wasn't it??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif



The Chevy dealer in Freeport was in the center of town on the right side of Sunrise heading east - it's still there but it's Conte now.

The Freeport dealer was Williams in the early 60's as per my 63 Nova SS, after that it was Richards then absorbed by Paul Conte Cadillac. The Williams in Baldwin was so brief, (71-72?)I must've been looking elsewhere. I didn't start running parts from that location until it was Lyons. I just forgot what I had for dinner, so take all that into consideration too. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
