In the Feb. issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotics, there was a brief blurb about Extinct autos. Apparently, Hagerty Insurance (which specializes in Classic and Specialty car insurance) has a list of cars that they list as extinct or endangered. Here's the list from their website:

They did note that these cars came off the list:
We’re happy to report that we can remove five vehicles from our list: 1971-1974 BMW Bavaria, 1971-1976 Mercury Capri, 1971-1977 Toyota Celica, 1975-1980 Chevrolet Monza and 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT. All can be found in sufficient supply that Hagerty now insures more than 25 examples of each.[url]We’re happy to report that we can remove five vehicles from our list: 1971-1974 BMW Bavaria, 1971-1976 Mercury Capri, 1971-1977 Toyota Celica, 1975-1980 Chevrolet Monza and 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT.

They started the original list in 2009, with a follow-up article of the reader's comments, and a third part. So sad!!
The worst part is I can think of more that are missing from their list, a lot of Japanese and European models from the 1960-80s.
