Great "waste" of bandwidth!! I'm always in awe of just how simple selling a car was in the day....a simple one liner with a phone number, interested buyers would call and hurry over, money in hand warranted a test drive, then yea or nay, rinse and repeat. No...."more pics", "is this still available", "be right over then vanish"......sorry for the mini rant.

Great stuff Pete. Some amazing cars built especially those L-88 powered Vegas. Can you imagine rolling up with that to the local McD's on a Saturday night in LI?

Yep, those were the days and so much for progress in so many ways.:crazy: Love the BB Vegas too, what absolutely genuine Motion built Vegas are known today?:hmmm: More old Motion ads below, sorry some are difficult to spot in the strip but w/ so many other great cars, I’m trying not to cut everything out and leave a few of the best ones. On w/ the show, let’s match a few ads up w/ existing cars or someone smoke out a new find!:eek2: :beers: ~ Pete . |
