JoeG's 1969 Baldwin Motion SS L78 Chevelle

[JoeG]

Frank,
Unique color combo----not a traditional chev color--nevertheless-I was already on the outs with my future other half for buying the car --so it was give and take--she didn't want stripes, no loud colors,no black-- she did like red with a black vinyl top---but there were a lot of red/black combos in brooklyn---I happened to see a 69 Chevelle convertable white top, burnished brown/parchment int--and it just caught my eye----so I said lets get a convertable---and she then proceeded to explain to me how gangs of roving thugs were going to hunt down our car and slash the convertable top into threads,-----scratch one convertable,-------- I just happen to like the white/ burnished brown combo----I asked the dealer if I could special-order a white vinyl top --he said yes--and my headache went away
I'd be blowing smoke if I told I remembered the inside of Baldwin Auto in detail-----Looked like any other car dealership that I had been in.----If there were any Motion cars on display at the time I was there--I would have remembered that---but they could have displayed a Motion car---then again Motion was only blocks away.---Joe--
