Thanks for posting that!

As I understand it, Mel Perry was a Motion "dealer" operating out of Norwood Motors. If that was the case, then wouldn't Joel Rosen have a record of my car being converted to an L88 by one of his dealers? If so, Joel could provide a letter of authenticity... for his usual fee, of course.

Can anyone from this site advise me on how to properly approach Joel Rosen? I've seen a few websites attempt to represent themselves as official Baldwin Motion sites, but given that there's more than one, they can't all be legit.

Joel turns 77 this year.Call him on the telephone.

Good advice! How would I get his number?

I'll PM it to you.

SS427, That photo you posted of NE dragway appears to be a black 69 chevelle,possibly dusk blue. My old scuncio chevelle raced quite often at that track,too bad its just far enough forward to not make out the parchment interior.

Bing maps has not updated in a few years, this is the original building before it was tore down in 2013. The left side of the building had 20 service bay's the center was parts and customer check in with a locker room with showers on the 2nd floor and a loft for the parts department the right side was the body shop at one time. The showroom and sales was in another building in front of this one.

I did an extensive search yesterday on this track and could find no other shots with the Chevelle in them. I also tried CT today with similar luck.

There is an old track photog that is always posting old pics of NE Dragway. I'll try to grab his name if I think of it. If anyone would have more pics, he would. I've spent a lot of time at and on that track. You're right, the railing does look right. Here's one of my Dad racing at NED back in 68/69 or so.

David Graziano said that the 1969 Chevelle towing the funnycar was a Black L89 4 speed from the Norwood dealership.

Have you found any photos of your Scuncio Chevelle at the track? Assuming it was Dusk Blue with Parchment interior. Any idea what wheels it had on it at the time?

Scuncio car was Black w parchment interior. It would have been aluminum heads at that time
