From a notice posted by the SAAC webmaster, January 2012: "...FOR SALE: One matching pair of original metal license plate frames from 'Barberino Pontiac-Datsun' of Wallingford, CT. In an attempt to date these frames a bit, I went on the internet and did a search on 'When did the name change from Datsun to Nissan?', and found this reference: '...1985 was the first year that Nissan no longer carried the name Datsun on vehicles exported to the US market (except for on some leftover parts like radiator caps or pages in manuals). 1985 Began the "The Name is Nissan" campaign. 1984 is the only year you can buy a Datsun 300ZX. After that, it was all officially Nissan...' So, it appears these frames can possibly be appropriate for 1985 or earlier vehicles that came from Barberino in Wallingford.

From the SAAC webmaster's own notes dated 5/8/2012: "...Wanted: A reliable, decent condition, not too old, local automobile (or small SUV) with automatic transmission, and not ultra-high miles, that is in ready-to-drive condition. I am looking for a good basic commuting vehicle, something like a Toyota or Honda, or other reputable manufacturer. All Wheel Drive is a definite plus--so, something like a Subaru Outback or Forester might also be something I'd be interested in. How about a Honda Element with AWD; I think those are pretty cool… Here’s a stretch idea: Toyota FJ Cruiser?!... I am located in Branford, and would be interested in something in the local Shoreline area.

We're a same sex couple who live in FL and we are coming to NYC/CT to elope on Thurs. 5/24/12 next year, just us 2 brides, no guests. We'd love to have someone from your car club pick us up in their vintage car and drive us to the ceremony. Do you know anyone who would like to do this? We will pay them (we don't have a huge budget but we want to make it worth their while). Thanks! We are looking for 1 of 2 scenarios... Ideally we could have a driver and car for the whole day 3pm-11pm. Pick us up at our hotel in Times Square NYC and drive us to the ceremony in Ridgefield CT, then after ceremony to Calfs Pasture Beach in Norwalk for photos, then back to Ridgefield for dinner and cake, then back to our NYC hotel room at the end of the night. If that's not possible, we would rent a regular car service to take us from NYC hotel to Ridgefield in the afternoon, and then back to NYC at the end of the night. In which case, we'd like a vintage car and driver from 6pm-8pm to pick us up in Ridgefield after the ceremony and drive us to the beach for photos in Norwalk then back to Ridgefield for dinner. Thank you! Candice and Victoria..." Contact: cgaudinier2000@yahoo.com (this ad posted 3/12/2010)
