Motion Oldsmobiles

Interesting you bring that up..hehe. I'm guessing I'm kind of a 'pup' here at 28. But, I had a '69 Olds Toronado (courtesy of grandma) for a winter car my 2nd and 3rd year of college. Being a die hard gear head, I looked up the specs on the motor of my beast and found that the engine was strikingly similar to the W-30 of the same year (cam profile etc.). It did have a forged crank and would turn some serious smoke from the front tires from a stop sign.....God...the looks on the peoples faces! This particular car had such a serious case of cancer that you could see through the trunk (from outside the car) and a radiator that could've aided the hoover dam in production. But be damned If I could get it stuck in a MN winter! I got it high-centered one time but that was on a huge snow drift in S. St. Paul on a dare.....I thought I could clear it (70 series tires measuring at darn near 29"). Much to my stupidity, I let it slip out of my hands to some towing company when I didn't have the funds to move it (college) when it finally died (cooling sys, not engine).
Uggh! ...type 'C' heads!

Very cool
A 1968 Motion Markowitz Cutlass (Ram-Rod) post coupe, was pictured in Rodder & Super/Stock Magazine
of March 1969 in a Motion Supercar Club ads.

The ads is black and white, the Cutlass is probably white, chrome 5 spoke mag (cragar SS or GT) and the car is racing in E/S class.And my magazine turn to yellow hahahaha.

Hello,
I have a 1968 Hurst/Olds that was sold new at Mack Markowitz Oldsmobile. Is it possible for you to scan a full size copy of your 1968 Motion catalog?
Regards,
Karl
