The problem is that so many people confuse "Baldwin" and "Motion" and assume them to be a single entity.

Basically, yeah. It may very well be a car that was set up and tuned by Motion, which is a neat bit of history, but the term &quot;Baldwin-Motion&quot; is only properly applicable to Chevrolet's ordered new through Baldwin Chevy with the Motion mods as part of the original order. That's my understanding, at least.
