I would have thought it was still there as Lyons in at least 75 if I was not influenced by the published history. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif But who's to say the writers aren't dopier than us? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

What went in after Lyons, possibly another dealership? Did the original structure remain until the CVS was built in the 90s? I can't recall.

Re: True piece of Motion fame: A real National Rec
 

it closed as an auto dealership after Lyon Chevrolet. It must have been torn down and rebuilt in the mid-late 80's when I was out of state. Before CVS it was a national jewelry chain of some sort. Consumers or Liquidators or something like that in the name maybe. Not sure if that was in the current building though. Not really sure how much this matters except to those guys that buy the repop Baldwin stickers and put them on too late of a car.

That makes more sense - I remember pricing a car there in the fall of '76

this is going off topic but I was curoius so
I pulled the file on the 87 Motion Monte Carlo and it has Lion Chevrolet Inc
964 Merrick Rd,
Baldwin NY
dated July 1987.

Joel had saved all the paperwork on the car.

JoeG may like this - an email from JR to answer some questions after I bought it.
