WHITETOP,
YOUR CONCERN OVER B/M PRODUCTION FIGURES DOES HAVE SOME MERIT.ONLY MR ROSEN HAS THE EXACT FIGURES AND WE CAN ONLY GO BY HIS QUOTES OR STATEMENTS ON THIS SUBJECT.I CAN TELL YOU THAT IN MY HOME STATE OF NJ THAT MANY B/M CARS HAD BEEN PARTED OUT OR DESTROYED.I KNOW OF QUITE A FEW B/M ENGINE CONVERSIONS IN MY AREA,BUT AN ENGINE TRANSPLANT ON A NON BALDWIN CAR DOES NOT GIVE IT BALDWIN/MOTION STATUS.JOEL WAS EVEN QUOTED ON THIS.WE MUST REMEMBER THAT MOTION HAD QUITE AN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN IN THE MAJOR MAGAZINES AT THAT TIME.SURELY QUITE A BIT OF WORK WAS GENERATED FROM THIS.HOW ABOUT THE MOTION/MARKOWITZ OLDSMOBILES?.DOES THIS PARTNERSHIP INDICATE THAT JOEL DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH WORK?HOW MANY OF THESE CARS DO YOU KNOW OF?I KNOW THAT YOUR STATEMENT IS TO TRY TO GET THE FACTS AND I LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN KEEPING A RECORD OF THE ONES THAT SURFACE.A POINT THAT I CAN MAKE IS.I KNOW MR ROSEN IS A TRUE BUSINESSMAN,AT ONE POINT EVEN PURCHASING HIS OLD CARS FOR RESALE.WHY WOULD HE INFLATE HIS PRODUCTION NUMBERS WHEN WE ALL KNOW THAT RARITY CAN BE A MAJOR SELLING POINT?JUST A THOUGHT ON THIS SUBJECT.
