Actually you didn't. Now is redundant, which makes it a needless word and is why I chose not to use it. An entity can only be defunct now, not in the past. "Now defunct" is like saying "currently" doing something.
If the carmaker were previously defunct, how did it make cars? If the carmaker is defunct, yet previously made cars, the time period during which it made cars would have had to have been when it was not defunct.
The word “now” is not redundant in this instance, because without it, a defunct carmaker making cars makes no sense.
Dig your heels in as in as much as you like, I will do the same! Just cry Uncle and we’ll be done with this!
In 2 Separate instances,FCCH inducted 2 more members: 1. 1962 Fiat 1100 belonging to Mr.Chandrashekar,who visited us at the HIAS 2010 in the FCCH stall.Today his Super Select became a member of FCCH. Apparently this member owns a 1946 Studebaker,1950 Jaguar and few more Vintages along with this Fiat 1100 Super Select.
2. 1996 Premier 118 NE in a pristine conditon accidentally turned up near my house and upon a quick interaction with the owner a young Mr.Krishna,who whole heartedly agreed to become a member of FCCH and come to our next meet in October.

Until I read it here above, I wasn’t aware that Oldsmobile no longer exists. I owned an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and if there is a such thing as car karma, the closing down of that manufacturer is wholly appropriate for having unleashed that beast of utter vehicular hades upon me. ~
