Ed very well said. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
I would agree with this. I met a guy that is almost 50 years old and is not a die hard but does like old cars. He grew up on Long Island till he was about 21 years old and when I asked him about Baldwin/Motion he had no clue. The way he put it was there was 4 million people living on long Island so who knows. I also met a guy that actually bought a 69 Douglass/Canonsburg sold new Yenko Camaro back in 1970 used at Fencl Tufo Chevrolet and bought the car because it had a 427 and it was a cool color.(ralley green) The guy ended up keeping the car till the early 90's and still did not know who Yenko was or what the big deal was surrounding them. I made a thread about this subject a while back.
I agree with sYc about the Nickey thing. Because of the advertising that Nickey did on WLS radio back then you could ask almost any older person from the area about Nickey and they all know the Nickey jingle that was played constantly on the radio back then.
