Insurance rates now depend on car model You may want to talk to your insurance agent before you shop for a 1983 model car. What the agent tells you might save you money on your insurance and possibly save your life. “Some car models have a better record for resisting crash damage, so they are less expensive to insure and in general they would be safer than cars that would suffer greater crash damage,” said Jay Weinstein of Charlotte, a spokesman for the North Caro lina Insurance News Service. “Effective with the 1983 models, insurance rates for collision and comprehensive coverages reflect the past history of the model with respect to crash repair costs,” explained Weinstein, personal lines manager of the St. Paul Fire & Marine Insurance Company. “While there isn’t a direct link between this data and occupant deaths and in juries, on average the cars with the better record probab ly would be safer.” The Vehicle Series Rating (VSR) system was already in effect in 40 s itates before it was approved hour use in North Carolina beginning with this year’s models. “Depending on the model’s past record, savings or ad ditional cosies; can be signifi cant. For e> simple, the buyer of a Buick Regal four-door sedan would pay $73 less for his first year of insurance than the buyer off a comparably priced car ivith an average crash repair cost history,” Weinstein said. “In other words, its record qualifies it for a rate three steps belovr the comparable car with an average record. The system only provides for rates three steps above or below the standard rate for cars in each given price range,” Weinstein said. General Motors, which builds the Buick with the favorable record, also builds the Pbntiar Firebird, which carries a rate three steps above the ;standard rate for Obituaries Junior Halford Junior Calvin Halford, 60, of 206 Altamahaw Ave., died Wednesday, March 16, in an Asheville hospital after a period of declining health.

However, designers of burial garments have applied such fine styling, craftsmanship and attractive fabrics, that some families select bunal garments - especially in view of their reasonable cost.
