That's a Baldwin sticker on the back of this '73 - isn't it?

From the Baldwin Motion site -
"Starting in 1967 and running through 1974, Baldwin-Motion offered SS (425-hp) and Phase III (500-hp and up) big-block Camaros, Novas, Chevelles, Corvettes and Biscayne Street Racer Specials. Cars were sold at Baldwin Chevrolet or Motion Performance, converted by Motion and financed and delivered by Baldwin. Phase III 427 and 454 cars came with a written, money back, quarter-mile performance guaranty from Joel Rosen."

"After Baldwin Chevrolet and its successors, Williams Chevrolet and Lyons Chevrolet, closed their doors in 1974, Joel Rosen sourced his new Chevrolets from other dealers as well as customers...."

Well, that certainly doesn't make it any clearer - then where was I looking at that RS?? Now I'm lost!

I would have thought it was still there as Lyons in at least 75 if I was not influenced by the published history. But who's to say the writers aren't dopier than us?

What went in after Lyons, possibly another dealership? Did the original structure remain until the CVS was built in the 90s? I can't recall.

it closed as an auto dealership after Lyon Chevrolet. It must have been torn down and rebuilt in the mid-late 80's when I was out of state. Before CVS it was a national jewelry chain of some sort. Consumers or Liquidators or something like that in the name maybe. Not sure if that was in the current building though. Not really sure how much this matters except to those guys that buy the repop Baldwin stickers and put them on too late of a car.

williams chev sold it to lyons chev in 76 after owning it for about 2 1/2 years
