Default Paragon website?

Is it just me or is the Paragon website gone? I am trying ************** but all that comes up is a Network Solutions ad for hosting. I was just there earlier today so maybe I am loosing my mind and have the wrong URL.

Thanks

Jay

Management and administration would appreciate that you not list vendor sites that compete directly with the supporting vendors. Supporting vendors fund this site so that you don't have to pay a dime to be a member.

It looks like there site is down right now. But if you look for it under Paragon Reproductions I am sure it will come up at some time. Maybe someone here can chime in and send you there info to contact them. If you can not find there site you could also check out the suporting companys we have that may be able to help you with what you need to find at a decent price as well.

My bad.

I use “the other� website for research only as they list the GM part numbers which I then use to see if GM Parts Direct still carries. In the past I have ordered from vendors only to find that the part is still sold by GM and was even shipped in the GM packaging. I hate to pay specialty house prices if I can get a much better deal on the same part from GM Parts Direct.

Too bad Paragon isn't a supporting vendor.... I find then to have outstanding quality and reasonable prices. They also have a lot of NOS stuff.

Maybe the CF people should make a sales call

I didn't know we couldn't talk about other vendors that gave us good service. I just posted about a passenger side mirror I got from another supplier. I didn't have a clue that one of our sponsoring vendors could supply this mirror so I went with a place I knew.
I delt with Paragon about a month ago and found the service fantastic. Should I not be passing this on to others???? Are we not free to pass on places to get good deals and service on parts for our cars????
I know at one time we couldn't say Summit on this forum but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore??
I am really suprised that we can't post names of other vendors and have to stick with those that pay for this forum.
I don't like it.

Give George a break guys, it's not his rules, he's just doing his job & making sure the rules are followed. Besides, unless the policy's changed, I believe you can post the names of any vendor you want, it's the links you're supposed to leave out. I can see why a vendor who's paying money to be a supporting vendor wouldn't want people posting URLs so people can click through to competing companies who haven't paid a dime.

I'm not trying to hassel anyone. I just didn't know we couldn't share valuble information about vendors.
I will gladly pull my post and keep my information to myself.
I thought this forum was about sharing????

George:

I hope you are better than ever, healing and enjoying life again and can attend Corvettes at Carlisle once more. I’ll be in the same spot for the 24th (?) year now. My steadfast attendance has resulted in having Pennsyltucky voting rights and dual citizenship. I am even considering running for political office as Justice of the Peace in the Borough of Carlisle. That way I can marry folk at Carlisle and collect fines for Disorderly Conduct.

No free tomatoes again this year; my garden is smaller in 2004 and the poachers have been awful. Last year it was the lousy weather. This year I was tied up with my charity work at a private Blood Band, but there is always next year.

On a sad note Chip will not be there doing what he did best, just as it was last year when Dale was not there last year making us all laugh. Don’t miss it and stop by if you can. You are not allowed to miss 2 consecutive years or you loose drinking rights.

Geoffrey Coenen
