Hey gang,
Don't know if anyone is interested, but I just received this post this
evening. Told the sender I'd pass it on.
Usual disclaimers apply.

>The prize is the Bricklin that I had intended to restore, #319 (see my site
>for details about the car). George Malaska had asked me about it several
>times, making mention of having an interest in buying it, at the times when I
>was considering selling. Since then I decided that it would be nice for

>an essay contest, and it's being done legitimately and with qualified judges,
>and a great deal of legal advice. It's a great way to let someone get a
>Bricklin and parts that are well worth 10 times the entry fee.

>PRESS RELEASE:
>
>To promote the contest (and build traffic to the site for the company), a
>press release is being sent to newspapers, business journals, and car
>magazines. Ads are being placed in Hemmings, among others, and direct mail
>and e-mail type promotions actually begin tomorrow.
>
>What I'd like to do with B.I. is have this contest, which has a deadline of
>April 11, 1999 for entering, appear in the BRICKLIN EVENTS CALENDAR, the
>magazine, and if you can supply the e-mail list, promote it that way too.
>
>I'll submit a press release to you, to be printed in the Brickline (if
>possible), and I'll buy an ad to further promote the contest to the Bricklin
>owners. I had written a few articles in past years that appeared in the
>magazine, and I'm sure B.I. owners will enjoy the creativity and unique
nature
>of this contest.

>I would appreciate your assistance and support in this effort. One lucky
>winner will get this car and all of its parts (new body panels, new aux.
>electric pump, a car with 17K original miles, etc. a perfect car to finish
>restoring), for a small entry fee. It would make me very happy to have that
>person be a Bricklin club member, or someone who appreciates the cars as much
>as I do.

>Please take a look at my site, and if possible, place a link for B.I. people
