Does anyone have any vintage pics of this sign in "Motion"? would like to see it.

[GM-26]

I pass the old "Motion" building all the time. Because, Sunrise Highway is a main drag here.

That "Motion" sign stayed on the building for a long time after the shop closed. When Joel Rosen lived on Long Island, we both lived in the same town and when I heard he was closing the shop for good, I was going to ask him if I can purchase the sign from him.
I was surprised that neither Joel or an employee didn't remove it.

Somebody email Verne Frantz, that MOTION sign is in his hometown. Heightstown NJ is 30 miles from me if anyone wants me to look at it for them.

[Mr70]

He is well aware of this auction.

I've got a black/white memory--so it's to see the sign again--
When Joel was getting ready to close down the store and move next door to the BMW(old Billy Mitchell VW shop) I would stop in from time to time and he still had old Motion packaged parts ,Motion ladder bars etc still on the racks. He would say Joe take what you need, I did take a few things I could use, but really didn't want to go thru the place with a nap-sack --I know someone had paid for the Motion Supercar Club sign in the shop--maybe $1k?- It was kinda sad--It officially meant the Motion Era was over------Real item------

[Mr70]

I'm Glad you here Joe.I thought this would interest you more then most.
What Month/Year was that you speak of?

[camarojoe]

Rick----He was still offering mechanical work and parts at the Motion Shop at least till '93/'94 -----I started doing some work in L.I. on a regular basis in '97 and he was already in the old VW shop,but not doing mechanical work, when I would stop in to say hello, in fact that's where he showed me his '73 Motion Vette and his Mako-.-He always took the time to talk to you --at least it was my experience.
Man Joe, you sound just like my future wife in '69---Scary
