Re: 1968 Baldwin Motion Camaro photo
there is a similar picture of Joel lifting the wheels in the MP Cobra and some say its fake.
I think they are both real pictures. I have seen people do it on the street back in the day and don't find it hard to believe that Joel did it in these photos. |

the street, car, wheelie, and photo are all real. the Nash Rambler wagon heading west with Howie riding shutgun is a fake. |

Photo is real, Marty confirmed it when he posted an unedited version on this site.

I think you guys should ask Joel and Marty when they join us at MCACN November 19-20!

Why hasn't that car been found?

Re: 1968 Baldwin Motion Camaro photo
Shamefully, it was probably hacked up & butchered into a 9.90 Index Super Gas car in the early-'80's. I've always considered that photo legit because it's happening on a busy street with traffic coming up behind it! There's no time to get out there with a hydraulic jack and jack stands to "stage" a wheelie photo. Now on a different note, the famous Motion Cobra wheelie photo takes place in a parking lot where it's easy to get a pair of jack stands underneath and get the camera angled just right.

you are correct Mark. below an email from Joel; <span style="font-weight: bold">"THAT PICTURE WAS STAGED FOR THE SHOT, BUT THE CAR REGULARLY PULLED THE WHEELS AT MOST OF THE EVENTS WE RAN.....JOEL"</span> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...g-race-car.jpg |
Re: 1968 Baldwin Motion Camaro photo
It fooled me as well! I don't know who took this photo or when it was taken. I discovered it in an old scrapbook that Judith Rosen had loaned me and I scanned the print.
I did shoot the "wheels-up" photo of the Camaro racecar being tested on Sunrise Highway. Marty |

"I did shoot the "wheels-up" photo of the Camaro racecar being tested on Sunrise Highway.
Marty" Who was at the helm Marty? |
Re: 1968 Baldwin Motion Camaro photo
Easy to tell the Cobra photo was staged by the wrinkle in the slicks. No torque-wrinkle, it's an at-rest wrinkle. (How's that for a grassy-knoll/Zapruder film type of analysis?)
