The Baldwins had a summer house just out of Bristol NH on Lake Newfound during the 60's. My Great grandfather bought his son the Chevrolet & Oldsmobile Dealership there...
Cook Chevy Olds in Bristol NH. My dad and Great Uncle used to talk about the Corvette's and other hi-po cars that the Baldwins brought to the lake for the summers.

Baldwin Chevrolet was named after the town Baldwin, NY on Long Island where the dealership was located. At the time Joel Rosen teamed up with the dealership, no one named Baldwin owned it.

I'm confused how your post relates to this topic??

These photos are from the Randy Leffingwell book "American Muscle", when Otis Chandler owned it.
Tom Johnson, the 2nd owner, was quoted in the book that this car filled every need he had in a car.



Anybody notice in the other pics that the car has the 6 cyl fenders?

Rick-
Roger Gibson was here in town a few months ago preparing the first hemi cuda convertible built for an article that appears in the recent Mopar Action magazine. He invited me along for the photo-shoot in N. Scottsdale along with Bill Weiman(owner) and his white '71 hemi cuda convertible(last one built). I posted photos of this outing in the lounge section. In any event only minimal paint work was done to one area of the camaro. It is very original. What impressed me the most was that Roger said that of all the cars he has ever restored or wrenched on, this was the coolest and had the highest impact(and Gibson has worked on some very high end muscle). I'll find out more of what was done on the motor. Joe Oldham was present the day of the shoot as he was the first magazine editor to drive the red '70 hemi when it was released to the press back then with the essence of the article being the two reunited 35 yrs later. What blew my mind was when Joe told me about the wildest muscle car he ever owned-a Phase 3 BM camaro-the one that appears on the WANTED poster. It was stolen from him and never recovered.

I thought the Idaho owner only had Otis' Motion Chevelle, he has the Camaro too? Wow!

I can't recall his name, but he owns an oil company. I think my red '71 BM Camaro ended up in Idaho as well but with a different owner.
