Harry, there were a couple of hose clamps that had Sweden stamped on them,something that you don't see here. Who ever painted that car did a very nice job. And I can see why those guys hated to see it leave.That car was probably the baddest boy on the island. Schonye

Harry, In a 1975 Motion catalog there is a letter from Joel R stating that in 1976 he is offering a Dealer Franchise Program. A Motion Franchise required a $25,000.00 investment. This would be at least a 2 car order. Did any other Motion cars come to Iceland?

I was talking to Joel(Mr.Motion) about this thread and it brought back some good Motion memories--------" My good and old friend Orvar Sigurdsson who was here recently with his whole family was MOTION ICELAND for many years. He had a Motion Camaro and I made a lot of trips up there both to race and visit with him .Sometimes some of the guys like Skippy my service mgr.went along. My son Shawn and daughter Robin were up there on vacation in the summertime.Great Place, believe it or not,I even made an exedition over to Greenland( which is cold,Iceland is not) to see real Eskimos one summer.Them was da days.I stopped there a number of times on my way over to Belgium, Holland,Germany and Switzerland to race and be the Concourse D'elegance Judge for the Swiss, Holland and German Corvette Clubs and get togethers.They were nice enough to pay for the trips and put me up in very nice places,Marty went once too.GREAT TIMES!"----Joel
