Baldwin Motion Performance

I thought you might like to know what Joel Rosen has been doing since the Motion Performance days.

I think building models was always a hobby that he turned into a very large business.

I have fond memories from those days when you could purchase a car at Baldwin Chevrolet and take it down the street to Motion Performance and leave with a car that would run in the 11 second range!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think we will ever see anything like that again but boy were those the day's to be growing up in.

Hey Jimbo,
welcome to the site...just curious did you buy one of those Baldwin Motion cars back then...if so then you must have a few old stories to tell us about.

Back in those day's money was tight so I was not in a position to walk into Baldwin Chevrolet and purchase a new car.

I did purchase a used 1965 Chevelle with a 350 engine and a 4 speed that already had a 456 gear.

I was very lucky to become friends with Dick Moroso back in the early day's before he ever started Moroso Performance.

In those days the name of his business was Performance Automotive and there was Dick and another guy named Mike who worked for him.

Those were the days before he went to work for Jere Stahl at Stahl
Headers.

Dick tuned my car and installed the cam and headers.

I remember the first time he talked to me about going to Cecil County on a Friday night.

I was about 17 years old and did not know where Cecil County was located. I had never been outside the state of Connecticut at that time.

I have so many great memories from those days.
