The one major thing that attracted me to Motion were the hands on articles in the magazines--A person could read these articles on all kinds of hop-up engine/car info and visit the Motion shop and talk about something you actually read about, it was like you were looking over their
shoulder at the time.---- This and the fact that Joel,Mr. Motion was giving such detailed tune-up info and proven packages, made it a pleasure to go there and talk about a car test.----Some Brooklyn car guys knew about Motion, a lot didn't,it depended if they followed the magazines.---There were a ( LOT )of high performance/speed shops in brooklyn and Queens --S&K(still around), Vitar,Nunzi Automotive( which is still around), Jack Merkel etc the list goes on,so you really didn't have to travel all the way to Motion to get special Hi-po work done on your car.-----What was appealing , was being able to purchase a new car thru a Authorized Chevrolet Dealer,Baldwin/Motion, and get almost any speed option available and still get a limited or full warranty.Now back in the'60's (my experiences),at least in Brooklyn, car dealerships gave you a hard time if you brought a car to them for warranty work and it wasn't purchased from them,so the thought of having to travel a good distance to Baldwin,L.I. and possibly leave the car there for any warranty problems or just some Hi-po work wasn't too appealing.---Anyway they were good times and the hobby got a second and third wind,so like ORIGLS6 ,I also get to relive it again.--JoeG [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
