Marty, I remember reading that in the book. The dealer was using MOTION'S name to market the cars but they weren't Motion cars.Weren't the people that bought the cars bringing them to Joel to fix and that was how he figured out that the Olds dealer was doing that?

I thought this was a nice write up on John Beltz. He really was the man responsible for all the Oldsmobiles’ we have grown to love and appreciate today. Sadly his life was cut very short because of cancer…if he had lived General Motors might have had a brighter future. The decline in quality, styling, innovation, and leadership may have remained if both varying styles of executive leadership such as John DeLorean and John Beltz were allowed to guide the corporation instead of young Harvard MBAs with no love, passion or knowledge of automobiles.
