                  a request to each Email address to make sure it works OK.  Please
                  respond so we know the Email is correct (quite a number don't

Haggarty Insurance was looking for examples of these "extinct" Mopars 

Full article at 
   http://www.hagerty.com/lifestyle/hobby_article.aspx?id=61420

Haggarty Insurance was looking for examples of these Mopars... they considered
them extinct:

The Hagerty "Extinct" List
Cars originally built in numbers greater than 10,000 that 
Hagerty insures no examples of

1. 1980 Dodge St. Regis: One of the "lost" cars 
built during Chrysler\u2019s first flirtation with 
bankruptcy, the St. Regis was a full-sized, four-door sedan 
with little to distinguish it other than its occasional 
service with police departments, which were evidently 
disappointed with the lack of continued availability of the 
AMC Matador. A free one-year subscription to Hagerty\u2019s 
magazine awaits the first person to present us with proof 
of a live example.

Update: Congratulations to Chris P., of Detroit, for 
finding a rust-free, low miles 1980 St. Regis on 
Craigslist! He wins the free subscription to Hagerty's 
magazine.

2. 1971 Plymouth Cricket: Produced in the U.K. by 
Chrysler's subsidiary, The Rootes Group, it was known 
there as the Hillman Avenger. Like most captive imports, 
Chrysler's heart was never into selling the car in the 
U.S. and its dealers were perplexed. Chrysler squashed it 
just before the energy crisis, selling the entire design to 
Iran's state car company where it was produced under 
license. Add that to the Shah's litany of crimes. As a 
genuine car guy himself, he should have known better.

3. 1985-86 Chrysler Laser XE: The Chrysler twin to the 
Dodge Daytona Turbo Z emphasized luxury, but the 2.2 liter 
turbo engine produced a bit of performance which was 
unusual for the era. Chrysler's mediocre build quality 
at the time and years of deferred maintenance by owners no 
doubt accounts for the fact that the car has gone the way 
of leg warmers, really big hair and Men at Work albums as 
an '80s artifact.

4. 1987 Renault/AMC Alliance Convertible: Truth really was 
stranger than fiction with the Alliance - a French 
Renault built in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Consumer magazines of 
the day were dismayed to find out that the Wisconsinites 
assembled the cars as indifferently as the French. Still, 
the convertible was interesting as AMC's fist drop-top 
since the 1968. We're hoping that when somebody cuts 
their grass for the first time since 1992, one of these 
will turn up.

      New NC Law Prohibits State Name, Stickers Being Hidden On License Plates 

      Beginning Dec. 1, 2009 Operators Can Be Cited, Later Fined.

      DMV officials are reminding drivers about a new law that goes into effect on 
Tuesday, December 1, 2009. The law requires the state’s name across the bottom of 
the plate as well as the year and month stickers on a license plate to be fully 
visible. They can no longer be partially covered by a license frame. Vehicle owners 
can be cited for committing an infraction and, after Nov. 30, 2010, fined $100 for 
the violation. The law was introduced in the 2009 session of the General Assembly 
and was supported by law enforcement officials because it increases the readability 
of registration information on the plates and helps identify vehicles registered in 
North Carolina.

		weekend. Here is a map to the event. Debbie says that she 
		already has 30+ crafters who are going to be present 
		throughout the weekend and if the weather holds out (looks 
		good at this point with temperatures in the mid 80's and a 
		small chance of scatter showers expected), we can expect a 
		good turnout of cars and the Women's World will be the 
		icing on the cake for spectators and participants alike.
 
		If you are a crafter or you know of someone who might like 
		to exhibit at this event. Debbie can be reached at 
		804-730-4160. Event information is attached for your 
		information.
