wait, here is Mark A.'s response that sounds kind of authoritative... "williams chev sold it to lyons chev in 76 after owning it for about 2 1/2 years"

I stand corrected (again!!)

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 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

It's my understanding that even when Baldwin Chevrolet was in business, Baldwin would trade cars with other dealers. This would generally occur when the other dealer had a vehicle that Baldwin didn't have, and the Baldwin/Motion customer did not want to wait for the car to be ordered. Reedman Chevrolet was one such dealership that Baldwin traded cars with. Reedman had a much larger inventory than Baldwin. A dealer trade car would still be sold through Baldwin Chevrolet after the Motion modifications even though originally delivered to another dealer such as Reedman, if the sale originated at Baldwin Chevrolet or Motion.

Joel bought my Motion Monte Carlo at Lion Chevy in 1987.

It was spelled Lion not Lyon and they used a Lion (animal) in the logo

Yep, thats how I remember it to be. My parents had a 79 Caprice wagon from there which had an emblem with a Lion animal to the left of "Lion". I think I pulled it off before they junked the car..wish I could find it!

So we know it was Baldwin Chevy up to 1973 and Steve said his parents had a 79 Caprice wagon from Lion Chevy and my 1987 Motion Monte Carlo was from Lion Chevy.

I wonder what was the first year for Lion Chevy?
I was told that there may have been other dealers there between Baldwin and Lion.
One guy said he thinks there was a Dodge dealer there and another said he thinks there was a used car dealer there but they didn't seem to be sure.

Can the local guys ask around about it?
