Legendary PR Guy and Cars Magazine editor Marty Schorr is looking for some help. He and Joel Rosen have been trying to determine the identity of the Motion Corvette that appeared in this print ad from 1970 or 1971. “The guy with the truck owned a business a few doors down from Motion at 560 Sunrise Highway,” says Marty. “We don’t know who the guy in the racing suit is or details on the Corvette.” It’s unclear if it was a Phase III GT.
According to Marty, the AC Spark Plugs ad was produced by Venet Advertising in New York City.
If you’ve got any ideas, post your answers up here, and we’ll get them over to the right people.
….can’t see the ‘Vette because of the bouncing Ride Tech ad…..
Look like it has NJ plates.
That stupid floating Autometer ad is covering up the Vette.
Put your cursor in the photo and left click. Photo opens up without the ad.
And yeah, the ad is a pain in the ass, but thats what helps keep this site free for us.
The ads don’t obscure the picture. What browser are you on?
The “Budweiser DROWSER”.
Seems to happen with Firefox, but not with Chrome or Safari.
I’ll shoot you a screenshot later.
that’s a Baldwin Motion phase III GT Corvette !!
i first thought it might be a Manta Ray but the headlights on those are much more deeper into the body panel than the GT’s
Just use adblock in Firefox and those ads never show up.
Well based on the grill of the Corvette, it has to be a ’68 or ’69. Starting in 1970 Corvettes had rectangular turn indicator lenses. Maybe that will help narrow down the number of cars to look through.
