Not sure what you've run across, but St. Louis did not use white primer. Could it be gray? Post pics.

if it really was a Motion car it would have had extensive modifications to the body including the hood and have been re primed and painted and striped at Motion, so original factory primer not being seen might work in reverse here Does your car have modifications to the headlights and and back window? As Mike said pictures would be helpful. Joel Rosen of Motion is still around and has a vin list of cars so he can document it or not. Did they do some cars without the body mods I don't know. You might try Martin (Marty) Schorr on Facebook. Editor and expert on these cars..Probably a copy cat paint job but I would follow up and check it out if I were you. Potential home run Post pics you will get a lot of help.
