RICHMOND Joel I. Valley, and Frederick Community College. In 1982, Mr. Cos learned about clipping when a teenage driver rear-ended his wife's 1982 Thunderbird. Clipping is when a damaged car is "clipped" in half and the front or rear is replaced with an identical undamaged front or rear from a salvaged auto.

Rather than have the car repaired, the couple sold it for $1,400, but the car did not end up in a junkyard. Testifying before a State Insurance Division information hearing in 1983, Mr. Cos said, "Gentlemen, I have found my car. It has been clipped."
