Sully,
Wasn't the building (or part of it) actually painted pink at one point?

Thanks Joe,
Little pieces of the puzzle keep surfacing. Amazing how you managed to find that old photo with the Camaro. Doesn't even look like a normal sized magazine format.

The guy that I bought my latest '62 from did some business with Motion, but mostly in the mid 70s with his Import Car part of the business. He saved a catalog of Motion import parts. His sister had an Opel GT that he got "creative" with. Since Joel branched out his business into those areas, is it possible he had some business tie with the BMW establishment next door?

Sully,
Could that BMW building have been the West side you spoke of where the lighted sign with the curved black arrow was hung? That building would have blocked the side of the garages if coming from the West.
Was that the sign you tried to get when the new business moved in, or was it the long one on the front that you were speaking of?
Sorry, too many questions huh?

Verne.

The one I remember was on the pink side of the BMW section the words MOTION in black with the curved black arrow showing to go around the side of the building----maybe this is the one JRSULLY is referring to??---Joe

Joe and Verne, that is the sign I was referring to, it was definitely yellow, said Motion (black letters) and had the Black arrow pointing down and around the corner. It was on the top, north corner of the west side building (part of the complex that juts out) Did Joel say that sign was gone.?? SULLY

"LONG GONE"....

I had thought about going and inquiring about that sign right after Joel left and the Wheel guys moved in. The Motion sign was hanging on the wall a while before it was removed, Oh well!!
