Baldwin Motion Performance

[Paul Ceasrine]

Moose,

Being from Westchester County, New York,,,,,,,

we had more than our fair share of Motion Performance cars
running around here...

Many racers (street and strip) would head out to Baldwin, Long Island
(about 90 minutes away) to see what was on the dealership lot.

One of the first Motion Performance cars to show up
in our area in the summer of 1967,,
a red 67' Chevelle with a 427 engine and Ram-Air hood.

Basically an A/MP car, that was driven on the street,,,,,,,

An 11.60 car, driven off the lot,,,,

Super Stock and FX Magazine
(September 1967)

There it is,,,,,,,,,,

I remember seeing all of the Chevy Hi-Performance models advertised but don't recall seeing any Motion Oldsmobile's offered.

Mack Markowitz was an Oldsmobile dealer in Hempstead NY. The dealership sponsored an NHRA 442 stocker at the time. I kind of remember the effort was an unsuccessful Markowitz Olds attempt to participate in the well received Baldwin/Motion venture with Oldsmobiles.
