Another thing to take into consideration is many of the mags that promoted Motion were regionally based-North east or eastern or upper midwest like Chicago etc. In Eastern Ohio where I live, Hot Cars, Speed & Supercar, Rodder & Super Stock etc where not available here back then.
I've picked up all my mags of this type usually at Carlisle or other eastern shows.

I've sold hundreds on Ebay and many times more than not my average bidder is usually from out West because those areas did not stock or ship those mags out there. I can't tell you how many people from other parts of the country said they were active car guys back then and never knew these mags existed.
Also look at the cars featured in these mags. The majority were from some borough in Queens, Flushing or Brooklyn and I swear the owners name always started with Vinnie or had an Italian last name.
